That’s me, when I was at work! I was known as Bagpuss (will mean nothing to overseas members) because I was always asleep! That was in the days when we got time to have a snooze.

I saw a Carentan sign in CBI,s mancave on another thread and it brought this photograph to mind.
It was taken in Carentan town centre in June 2019 ( d day 75th anniversary).
Tom Rice was there meeting enthusiasts and signing all sorts of stuff, what a nice guy ! ( and hero).

Heck, I'm pretty sure the whole "finger discipline" didn't really start until the 90s. Can't remember the pioneer -- one of those police trainers and journalists* who proved it was safer, yet just as quick to reach the trigger with the index finger on the guard.

I tried it in practical shooting competition (IPSC) and was pretty comfortable with it.
