mikelewis Posted 17 December , 2006 Share Posted 17 December , 2006 I know that this site deals with a very serious and for some very emotive subject but as the men in the trenches indulged in their own form of "black humour" in order to retain a few vestiges of sanity, I thought I might do the same. Look carefully at the image below and add your own caption, it must above all be witty and to some extent reflect the spirit of the time. Although this is just a bit of fun I will award a prize to the person or persons whom I adjudge to have provided the funniest caption. Entries through the forum and the closing date is 23rd december. The Prize. A downloadable, signed image of my painting of a Halberstadt CV. !!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
