RWTF, Irish Guards, not Coldstream. Battle of Loos, not Somme.
1915 not 1916. I am sure the rest of your drivel is up to your usual standard of accuracy.
OK Dude- you are right and I am wrong- Irish Guards, that's a shock- I know Rudyard had to pull some strings to get his son Jack into the Army and into OCS- or whatever the Limeys called their Officer Training School- Sandhurst?? he was a blind as a bat, 20-200 or even worse vision, and could barely read a medical eye chart even with glasses. Why they let him into a combat situation is beyond my understanding- he should have been rear echelon- his poor vision may well have cost him his life, as well as that of many enlisted men- But at least you didn't disagree with me about the "Butcher's Bill" Limey Gen. Haig racked up at the Somme in 1916--Makes me think of my favorite dead American writer- Ernest Hemingway-- his Grandfather was a decorated Union Officer in our War of Northern Aggression- his father was a pacifist, Hemingway couldn't pass the Army physical due to defective eyesight in his right eye, and he lied about his age (he was born on July 21 1899, he moved that back to 1898- and got the American Red Cross to accept him as an ambulance driver in Italy--
