You do have to pity the poor lad about to load, while that other idiot is equally just about to fire. The spongeman's gesture says it all…despair…."I give up" (in Portuguese) |

What a brilliant – and funny – observation, Deadhead! GdeP |

Cheers and thanks. I think the photos are just such fun. I keep seeing the spongeman in that pose and want to add a subtitle. Something like "How many times have I told you?" You have to wonder just how important the drill was in those days. Thousands of cavalry in armour advancing straight towards you. Smoke. Skirmishers. That bucket is almost empty of water anyway. Now let's get this right. Just in case we do not…
Clear out the barrel. Sponge it out wet. Load it. Ram it home dry (hey mate, please do remember that thing you do with your thumb at this stage just in case anything might ignite) and stand back. Now let that chap with his burning thing do his bit. Bang.
Oh dear. Recoil. Now we are halfway down that reverse slope that English (sic) Duke chap suggested. All together now (all this in Portuguese) .
