I sold a tank to a soldier in the cavalry for £15-10-6d and he has sent me a letter to say it got blown up after 10 minutes. His mate is an expert on tanks and has said it needs £12-7-6d worth of repairs will I pay half.

I told him it was working OK when he drove it away from my trench but he's threatening to take me to court.

I'm not a trader, does he have a case against me?

Think you'll find that the whistle is to signify the end of the great 1914-17 war smile

We could do with a hand from the French cavalry, but they got hungry and buggered off.

It's not the sort of 'boys jolly-up' that I expected - never mind it'll all be over by Christmas.

I've always wanted to meet this girl called Dawn, just to find out why the military keep shooting deserters at her?

Also, is a deserter someone that has an extra helping of spotted dick and custard?
There's nothing better to lift the wartime blues than to get a shot away at the crack of dawn.

Focke-Wulf was founded between WW1 & WW2. Before it that it was all just Fokkers.

Can anyone recommend a good watch? I have to send thousands of men over the top to almost certain death at precisely 4pm tomorrow,and I don't want to be late for tea and crumpets at the officers mess.

As a tommy in the trenches, I've just wounded a german corporal. I could clearly see he had the initial AH on his tunic.

I thought about finishing him off as he hit the mud, but I thought, no, enough killing today for me. Its not like he'll ever create much bother after this horrible war is over.

The neighbours insist on firing their guns at unsociable hours. I've tried writing to the council environmental health, but they refuse to do anything about it. Bloody Belgian bureaucrats. Anyway, how much can I sue them for?
