Indeed
this is when my wife would say to me “you’re a pig”. And I’d have little evidence to argue the point.

Mine would say, "you dirty bugger, she's old enough to be your daughter [or if she was really mad granddaughter"] which I think is particularly hurtful.Indeed

Such a forgotten mine near messines belgium just exploded suddenly 1955 after a lightning strike. It blew a giant crater in the landscape. Fortunately no one was hurtHere you go, detonation of the Hawthorne Ridge mine on the first day of the Somme. That's one hell of a big bang...

Yes very true. I saw a documentary on the underground mine war of WWI not long ago and they mentioned that.
Terrifying!

WWI trench system at Beaumont-Hamel, France today. This was an area which was unsuccessfully attacked on the 1st July 1916, the opening day of the Battle of the Somme. Anything Somme tugs at my heart-strings a bit as one of my family was lost on that first morning assault and to this day has no-known grave.
Sobering that the scars of over a 100 years ago are still visible in the landscape...

Ive been told the 4 parts of the song tell the story of the taking of Beaumont Hamel. The first part is the march into the Hamel, the second is the rally, the third part (starts at 0:53) is the actual battle and bombardment as phrased by the birl interrupting the rhythm, and the fourth the victory for capturing the Hamel. It's really amazing to listen in that frame of mind.
