I will go further. In war you win some, you lose some, I am often angered when I read comments that have been picked up from Books!
Let me put it this way. You are a triumphant general that has beaten the living daylights out of the enemy. You surrounded them in their thousands. You created a slaughter area where you ground the enemy into a mess of burnt and mangled flesh.
You chased the enemy headlong across France and Belgium your lines of service and your lines of communication and supply were extraordinary long.
Now reading what is often written here It would seem that many of you want to stop and not take the chance of further advances. Do you stop when the enemy is running? Or do you put together a hastily prepared attack in the hope that it will succeed.
The way many here write it was wrong to battle on despite the odds Funny way way to win a war.
BY the way, I am always pleased to meet others but I must warn you! never come to my house with the lets stop for tea story, For there will be a very irate 15 and a half stone old Vet thirsting for blood.
