Who said War was serious business. I remember reading a book that involved old Sepoy Wars in India with the British in the 1800s. Indians were attacking British line by using elephants. One particular elephant got scared turned away from attack presented its rear quartars to British artillery on the field and one gun battery scored a direct hit with 6lb shell piercing elephants arse killing it instantly. Talk about elephant enemas hahaha
My own father also scored a direct hit on an old Arab pedalling a bicycle in the Middle East. When Dad was a member of the 6th division in Palistine early in 1941. he and his mates were returning off leave in the back of a truck and they came across boxes of Bully Beef. They decided to begin lobbing the Bully Beef Boxes from rear of truck just as they passed an old Arab gentleman riding his bicycle. It appears one of the boxes thrown by my father hit this Arab right in the face knocking him clear of the bicycle and spawling across the road. Does this count wounded by friendly fire or what hahaha
