Agree, I do feel sorry for them.

I was a JO in charge of a Parade for ANZAC day through Williamstown
here in Aus, march down the street went OK, standing on parade on the grass
roundabout, started feeling sick as a dog and I knew I would throw up.
My OC was sitting in a chair next to the mayor and the council.

Decided best course of action was to hand over to my Pl Sgt which I did
in an military manner, he went to the front, I marched off, threw up behind
a hedge and marched back onto the parade and took over from him.

Went and apologised to the OC at the end, expecting a severe bollocking
and his only comment was "you must have done it well as I never noticed
anything !!!"

Relief was an understatement
