Incidentally, here's perhaps one that warrants celebrating!

It means you get you have a bloody big p1ss-up. Do you need a better reason? God forbid that the Sqn has an attack of morale. (If you must, think of it as a dress rehersal for the 100th.)
Not entirely sure 300,000 casualties sustained as part of an utterly pointless war is something to "celebrate". I can't imagine a good night on the lash being the most appropriate way of recognising and remembering the fallen.
