As some people might know I have a great interest in soldiers from
my hometown of Sunderland that fought in the First World War. As the build up to 100th
anniversary of WW I approaches more and more Blogs and Forums are springing up
& I get great enjoyment from spending a little time browsing around such places.
Being able to see the funny side of most things I like to
inject a little humour wherever I go and I would like to share with you a few
examples of how I have done this at sites dedicated to the First World War.
The first example is an old post I revived on a soldier from
Sunderland with only one leg who enlisted into the army.
If anyone passing this way happens to know any details of
this soldier I would be very grateful if you would post any details in a comment.
The second example that I revived after it had lay dormant
for some time was on the subject of swearing in the army but as I am an Old
Soldier I knew a little more about the subject than most, subsequently it was
removed but not before I was able to keep a record of some of what you are
about to see & read.
Enjoy.
