Sneaky Training."Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman. Secondly, the infantryman always bears the brunt. His casualties are heavier, he suffers greater extremes of discomfort and fatigue than the other arms. Thirdly, the art of the infantryman is less stereotyped and far harder to acquire in modern war than that of any other arm." ------- Field Marshall Wavell, April 1945.

Like hell! He fought because he had to fight;
He died that's all. It was his unlucky night.

30 Km out, the pilot under instruction observed engine bits and oil coming out, the Aircraft was 261 I believe, which was due to return to Pilatus for a major overhaul."We will hold out until our last bullet is spent. Could do with some whiskey"
Radio transmission, siege of Jadotville DR Congo. September 1961.
