It came to us from the trenches of Flanders, where the soldiers often played it to make a pleasant change in their lives. The outer covers of two safety matchboxes are needed, and any number of players from six up, arranged in two teams. The captain of each team puts the box cover on his nose; that is, he sticks his nose into it. At the word “Go,” he passes it, without using his hands, on to the nose of the next ; that is, the next nose is stuck into it, and so passes it to the next and on to the end, then back again up the line to the captain. If the matchbox falls to the ground, the player who dropped it must get down and root it against the foot of another, till his nose is wedged in it, so that he can lift it again. The winning team is the one whose matchbox first makes the round trip. Three rounds are usual for a match.
