'The Chronicle of the Imps No 1' by Betty Mould

In this short fictional story four Queen Mary's Army Auxiliary Corps girls wander into a land called 'Gaolground', where pen pushers usually sit robbing tax payers of wages. A hut, called number 8 hut, is empty so the maidens take it over. Smiler was short and plump, Sergeant Major tall and stately, Maudie very quiet and Bunny who was very small.

In number 3 hut (adjoining number 8 ) were audit pen pushers, called Jimmy and Archibald. Archibald had served in France but came back to pen push. They smiled at the maidens, and Archibald sent Smiler a Billet Doux in Jimmy's name. The girls had various jobs, Sergeant Major carried vessels with Oxo and tea, Smiler carried the kettle, Maudie collected files. Several cheeky poems are sent between the men and maidens.
