RANDOM WW1 POST
so, think i have been reading about the somme. didn't call it then, but a major late offensive by the germans. talked to this one american early in and he is taking about figians and 'chinks', one who fought next to him and this american sang his fighting, even tho a chink.
so, anyways, the soldiers had to reduce their packs to 150 to 20. (he was with the artillery), the wagons were only for food, ammo and officers luggage.
so the soldiers had to discard-personal belongings-rubber bathtubs, PNEUMATIC MATTRESSES, extra blankets, socks, sweaters, toilet sets. i guess villagers and the village maidens were beneficiaries.
