#1 As a former Arty/Anglico guy, this article hit home. Gotta love the King of Battle. The King don't walk and the King don't swim (not well anyway). Incredible photos and worth a look for that reason alone

#2 Wowser pix! Nice to hear from a war correspondent that is on our side. Also loved this comment:

#4 The cannoneers just loaded and counter-fired and finished them. Probably few people on base realized that the cannon cockers had conducted an ambush-by-howitzer.

ambush-by-howlitzer - wow. And beautiful pics too!
