"Fritz." Tommy's name for a German. He loves a German like poison.
Front Line. The nearest trench to the enemy. No place for a conscientious objector.
Frostbite. A quick road to Blighty, which Tommy used very often until frostbite became a court-martial offence. Now he keeps his feet warm.
"Full pack." A soldier carrying all of his equipment.
Full Corporal. A N.C.O. who sports two stripes on his arm and has more to say than the Colonel.
Fumigator. An infernal device at a hospital which cooks Tommy's uniform and returns it to him two sizes too small.
"Funk Hole." Tommy's term for a dugout. A favorite spot for those of a nervous disposition.
Fuse. A part of shell or bomb which burns in a set time and ignites the detonator.
G
Gas. Poisonous fumes which the Germans send over to our trenches. When the wind is favorable this gas is discharged into the air from huge cylinders. The wind carries it over toward our lines. It appears like a huge yellowish-green cloud rolling along the ground. The alarm is sounded and Tommy promptly puts on his gas helmet and laughs at the Boches.
