Image Description:
a battle scene set in a British village street, featuring a dismounted Territorial Army cyclist, in uniform and chin-strapped forage cap, loading his rifle. Behind him stand two more members of the battalion, one firing his rifle, the other placed his bicycle against a wall. In the background, the remainder of the battalion come to join them.
First time I’ve ever felt like joining the army.
GOD SAVE THE KING
Wait, why does the army need more meat shields if God is going to save the King? You’d hope to at least get some of the credit.
God will save the King, us peasants have to save ourselves.
