Todays show was to be the last of the BENGHASI “Blitzes” for the nonce. The show was not too hot and everyone was feeling relieved that the long shows were now at a _stillstand_ as far as O.L.G. 21 is concerned, at any rate. The long overdue promotion list came to light today. It was not too bad and one should be thankful for small mercies but several outstanding cases were not approved because of Establishment. It seems cold comfort to men who have given of their best for more than eighteen months, to be informed that they will be "recommended" for promotion to the Union when they return thither. Surely a case of "throwing to the wolves”.
