It should be noted that things
are never lost on Trek; they
are always "pinched." A
Tommy develops a sort of
sixth sense, which enables
him to keep in touch with
his belongings-to a certain
extent, at least. There is an
unwritten, but well-recog
nised law in the ranks to the
effect that if someone pinches
your kit, you must "pinch"
someone else's. It is consid
ered more advisable to
"pinch" from some other
squadron, or, if possible
regiment. The blame is
always attached to the first
offender, the blame for all
subsequent pinching being
put to his account.
