I immediately thought of the final scene from Black Adder Goes Forth when I saw this. Lovely piece!

Nah … Baldrick, who are they?

Its very impressive work indeed – only one thing that sort of makes me go hmmm – 3 officers and only 1 other rank. I would have preferred the mix to be opposite. But I am not trying to be critical it is a work of art – well done the guns crew!

Would the officers have crowded together like that, if they always used to say "don't bunch" !

Are we going to get a German version. My uncle Adolf could do with having his final moments immortalised.

Tin hat. It is based on the final scene of a tv show in the UK. 'Blackadder goes forth' A tragi-comedy. This scene was very poignant and depicts 3 main character Officers and a batman, Baldric. Watch the scene on you tube.

Very Nice!

Vimy,

I saw the same thing, 3 officers and only 1 soldier.

I thought at that time the officers lead from the back and not the front. But that could have been the higher ranks in the back.

Oh, I didn't know it was based from a show.

"I thought at that time the officers lead from the back"

Not in the British Army. It's how we lost so many -- at one point in the war the life expectancy of a private was 3 months but that of the 2nd lieutenants leading them was only six weeks…

Better than being one of the 'twenty-minuters' :)
