We’re foot—slog—slog—slog—sloggin’ over Africa —Foot—foot—foot—foot—sloggin’ over Africa —(Boots—boots—boots—boots—movin’ up an’ down again!) There’s no discharge in the war!
@Snoopy_FanHello, Snoopy_Fan. I have lots to tell you! Take a deep breath because this might be a very long comment!-I started my Work Placement on Tuesday and the day didn’t go as well as I thought it would. However it was only the first day so I decided to wait until yesterday (I’m only there on Tuesdays and Thursdays) Yesterday was much better. I learned how to use the photocopier on the Tuesday and the laminating machine yesterday. So I’m not getting much experience at the moment but there’s still time yet.-Today, I went for my interview but it turns out it wasn’t the proper one. I attend the real interview with the employer on Tuesday 9th June, 11am. Please wish me luck! As the interview is on Tuesday, I will not be able to go to my Work Placement.-So a lot has been happening! Despite everything, I’ve still been thinking about you and knowing how proud you’ll be of me. You are, right?-Oh by the way, I wish those new teachers the very best of luck. It touched me to know that you told them exactly what you told me. I’m sure they appreciated it very much. -May your weekend be fabulous. I have missed you. It seems ages since we last spoke.
Oddly enough the life expectancy of a “poor blighter” in the trenches was generally longer than that of a combat pilot. Quentin Roosevelt – son of Theodore Roosevelt – was recorded as saying that he was amazed that a pilot could survive his first combat. Roosevelt died in combat 27 days after he was posted to the 95th Aero Squadron.

And you know tomorrow is the D-Day anniversary, we might see a 1990’s Peanuts D-Day strip get rerun.

A flying bird….grounded! With a gun! I don’t think that the bayonets were fixed in place for marching, though.
