Anyone seen combat? or have good combat stories??
My old man went to the first gulf war and he said the closest he got was their base having a scud alert but not much else.
My English Grandad was in the paras and got captured and held in an italian POW camp for 4 years!!!
My Scottish Grandad was in the Royal Artillery and had a couple of good stories, one was that him and another couple of blokes found a cellar in france and heard some german voices so chucked some grenades down there. Madness, he also had a bullet would in his leg from a mauser but didnt tell me the whole story.
I found all these stories really interesting and wondered if anyone had anything first had or second hand they could share?
Cheers.

I had a tuna sandwich for lunch today. I forgot my soup though. It was madness.

I went to Wales...once....
Dry books of tactics are beneath the notice of a man of genius, and it is a known fact that every British officer is inspired with a perfect knowledge of his duty, the moment he gets his commission; and if it were not, it would be sufficiently acquired in conversaziones at the main-guard or the grand sutler's.
