Crerar's A Mess was for the two ADCs and the First Canadian Army's senior staff officers.They ate well,off a silver service and tablecloths,with wine at times and drinks.Crerar never drank much: nor did anyone in A Mess.It was generally a happy mess, though Brig.Geoffrey Walsh and Churchill Mann could drive the ADCs crazy.

Apparently the full zip in Monty's Windak smock proved to be too difficult for both his batman and himself.
