When I was on the Great War battlefields recently......

[Gil Boyd]

Roger,
The scribbling of soldiers is timeless, and most likely, having contributed myself in some of the shitholes of the worlds, a way of informing those that follow that, "our" unit was there before them.
In many of these special locations nevertheless, they are poems and odes and the names of those that knew the "writing was on the wall" which is where it came from WW1, that they were unlikely to survive.
God bless them all.......................Lest We Forget!

I take it as a former Para that your musings were scribbled in Crayon Gil?

Think I'll retreat to the Sangar now and await the inevitable incoming rounds.
