Discuss Stumpy and the Auld Sapper in The NAAFI Bar on The Army Rumour Service; Smashing effort mate. Congrats. Does this mean I have to start buying WW1 German Drill Manuals off you?...

    You can buy anything you want if we've got it - I will not refuse an order simply because you also bought Stumpy!

    Are they cordless drills, like in the book, that you want manuals for?

    Just seen the photo section from the book and the originals have been tweaked in Photoshop and have come out very well - so four pages of photos that add to the story.
