Looked it up on Wikipedia-' it was issued on 60,201 occasions'! 'Sometimes applied within range of enemy fire' as you said. I wonder how many of the poor devils actually got hit? 'Applied three days out of four for up to 21 days'! It's like something from the Dark Ages.

Just been looking for a mans papers, and found this man in the Manchesters, sentenced to 7 days Field punishment Nu 2, for being deficient in his tea & sugar ration.
Retlaw. |
