Well done sir, the CST will be delivered to you shortly by Private Pike on his bicycle, providing his scarf doesn't get caught in the rear wheel...

"These woolen mittens are great for keeping your hands warm, but they do make holding shells difficult, because they are so slippery...".

Apologies to all for my inadvertent re-run of this pic! I've been absent for some time!
It looks like we'd better get another one on the go so from the entries so far;

Well played 622 with: 'Suspicions the Germans may have used mind altering drugs in their chemical weapons were rising!'

Congrats. and take it away!
