Chapter 3 - Friendly Troops
The third chapter of Hollis and Carter’s hilarious record of 1944 Operation Thursday - ‘Friendly Troops’ - is now here, with some superb drawings, uploaded for your amusement.
That of the bearded, monocled creature on page 13 can only be that of Brigadier Bernard Fergusson, below.
The description of Gurkhas as ‘Lilliputian men with a capacity for winning V.C.s in all theatres of war’ is fabulous.
Enjoy!
" Slightly coarse, cattle farming, brain baffling"- now whatever might that be?!
Arthur Askey meets George Formby in military parlance- this is truly hilarious.
Thanks
