| Oh wow - very interesting. When I was active in the birding world I remember one or two soldiers being around and interested but on the whole it was a tiny percentage. Also remember having a snot nose pte move his gun slowly in my direction whilst laughing and extremely impolitely telling us to leave when we mistakenly wandered to the borders of military land in West Sussex whilst birding. Seems like an excellent activity for a POW but surely you need to be a senior NCO or above otherwise the ribbing from your fellow prisoners may take some of the enjoyment out of it. |
