Once again it’s that time of year and plucky Army Bleu are on Manoeuvres. I say don’t forget the cheese , bread and wine fellows!
No one knows who is in that house, perhaps some Army Black sniper! Sound the charge , draw the sword and forward…
Later in the day a more cautious approach is taken- machine gun to the fore and a rifle grenade for good measure…
After the vin rouge is finished what better than a Molotov cocktail to end the meal!
Army Bleu brings up support for gallant elan filled fellows in the shape of the big little guns, mortar and machine gun. That’ll stop em…
Another day of manoeuvres over and it’s back to camp for frogs legs and campfire fun. Well done fellows!
Only the sniper team remain and an artillery spotter watched by the umpire from the woods.
The Chasseurs de pied have one more gallant charge as the day ends and it is off for them too!
This is your brave Pate News reporter and his new Spahi chums wishing you all a wonderful evening and Bon nuit!
Painted up well, they have.
ReplyDeleteYou know what’s missing from their armament don’t you? A gold painted, spigot powered anti-tank weapon.
ReplyDeleteBecause Les Francais adorent le PIAT d’or.
I’ll get me manteau.

I can almost hear the announcer. You captured the tone well.
ReplyDeleteLovely stuff, Alan! I even enjoyed Nundanket's pun...
