G'day MudGuard,

For the life of me, I can't remember what we sang for "buns" apart from they were "hard as ????" - maybe "guns"... it was longer tho'...

Hold on.....

"hard as bleedin' stones" (pronounced "stuns") think that was it - it would work, anyway.

If all else fails, make it up as yer go along in the true QM store tradition.

BTW - I did an AltaVista search on "in the quartermasters store" earlier today, and only got 3 hits, none relating to the song - "quartermasters store" returned 26. I was panicing that the armies world-wide were running out of supplies. However, "quartermaster store" gave me 2,000 odd hits. Funny - I've always known the song (and the store) as Quartermaster's..

Cheers - Sgt Sam Reg# 678894 - reporting for words at the QM Store
