Text of uncoded message:

"What-ho chaps,

I rather hate to be a bother, but we seem to have run out of tea. I rather think we're no better than the huns if we expect the lads at the front to go on without tea!

-Terribly grateful,

Captain Lord Alfred Manning-Tree Manning-Tree"

END OF MESSAGE.

“Drink Your Ovaltine”
“Needs More Cowbell”
