Hello Listers,

One of my grandchildren from Malanda [Atherton Tablelands] has just telephoned me seeking assistance with an ANZAC Day school project she is doing.

I asked Sinead to E-mail the para to me.... see her E-mail below.

She has to rewrite the WW I para into today's accepted English and the slang word she is looking for help on is 'mos'.

Other slang words that I am stuck on are; 'pennish', 'Adul'.

Can any readers shed any light on the subject words...

Thanks for reading,

Eldon Bryant.................
