Double Zero
No, just bloody brave & tough - how were the officer's ( Army & RAF, Navy too if within range ) mess's going on at the time, not too low on Gin I hope...
I wholeheartedly agree with you - it is always the PBI that clean up the mess, and a magnificent job they did down south. Of course not without the support of others.
Your remark about gin brought back a memory - I was having a medicinal large rum just before we were sunk..................
