"I asked for 2 pack mules and Stores issued me this.

Still, better than Smithers...he has to get 'A' Company up Mount Kilimanjaro with 3 goldfish and a tortoise."

Gunner Smith soon learned that it was not a good idea to stand behind the elephant when the first few shots went off.

Sheba was known to have a real Nose for trouble thus Gunner Smyth-Jones felt the need for a Gun to match.

Hoskins laughed at Smithers on the Dorsal gun...until he realised he'd been designated as the tail gunner...

Seeing those wrinkled Legs and large saggy belly reminded Buster of some of his Conquests over the Years!

Nellie: "I don't mind the 'ankus' so much, but this is really overkill !"


(Ankuses or should it be anki ?)


Fig. 6. Antique steel hook used by elephant riders




(Genuine question: what is that weapon - a Maxim ?)

"All well and good, corporal, but it is rather vulnerable to a bayonet attack from the rear"

Smithers had Coventional and Bio Weapon all in one.
Ammunition out, just turn Ellie around, uncork trunk and let last nights Currys Beer and Raisin wipe out the charging hordes.
