fin and fur 2 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 RIP Harry what an incredible life to have led, spanning three seperate centuries and seeing some of the worlds most prolific highs and lows. The trenches must have been an awful place beyond imagination, and Harrys role as a machine gunner must have placed him under particular threat. The Germans hated machine gunners for the high attrition rate that they inflicted on their forces and routinley executed any they caught The death of a true Legnd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
