Author's Notes: July 23rd prompt: Improvised Tools

‘I’m sorry, Major Watson, there will be no tea tonight.’

‘Why, what has happened?’

‘The billycan has been shot. It could have been a sniper or a ricochet—‘

‘Blast! That was the last of the Darjeeling.’

‘There’s good news and bad news on that front, sir. The tea had not yet been set to steep. Unfortunately it was our only kettle.’

‘Surely you enterprising young officers can improvise something.’

‘We could use Lieutenant Black’s helmet! He was sent home yesterday.’

‘Desperate times call for desperate measures— it’ll need a good scrubbing before we can call Black’s pot a kettle.’
