Royal Engineer Pocket Book (1902)
Evening all. Just stumbled upon a REPB that's 100 years old on eBay.
I have gained WWII REPB along with my (current serving) issue one and HERRICK REPB.
There is only a few hours left so I am asking the collective of ARRSE; should I get this one and start a (somewhat geeky) collection?"Right lads we need to get this job finished."

I have a copy of the 1979 one! Is that current?

By the looks of it I'm starting a collection."Right lads we need to get this job finished."

I'm willing to bet two thirds of the kit, and items covered are the same in every book from 1066 onwards - save yourself the dosh
You're on thin f-ucking ice my pedigree chums, and I shall be under it when it breaks. Now, f-uck off.

?Put pointy end of spade in the ground (use weight onto foot to assist).
?Pull spade back out of the ground extracting a clump of earth with it.
?Discard extracted earth in a pile.

Go ahead, It can't be any geekier (is that a word?) than noting down the number of every locomotive that passes through your town, or a/c that starts/lands in the local airfield.
