Aftermath
Parade Ground at dawn

The debris included a chair fragmented by plastic explosive, plus a hundred broken beer bottles placed there by order of the incoming Adjutant Caffer McCann.

He did not remain as Adjutant, and Fourth Class spent a couple of hours emu-bobbing, bent over picking up glass and woodchips, not really a recommended activitiy for those with hangovers.
