BEagle (#21),
When it was All Over, I handed in my S&W and the 18 rounds. Not one had been fired. I could probably have done more damage (if needs had been) with the kukri, which I wore on the other hip to balance it.
On VE day, some Wild Colonial Boys fired feux-de-joie through the Mess basha roof, this was much deprecated by the elders, as it brought down an assortment of unpleasant invertebrates which dwelt in the palm thatch and were better left up there.
Danny.
