Continuing the life in the military theme, here is a postcard from the past by way of the Great War Forum:



Dated Feb 1915, it apparently reads on the back: "Having rotten time here - rotten lot of men
all the Glasgow wasters we receive - otherwise all right comfortably settled in huts and plenty of
spare time as you will observe nothing else to do. No chance of us getting off to the front now
all Kitcheners have to go before the Spec Reserve so I wish you luck when it comes your turn."

Yes, they DO look like they are having a rotten time.

Their jackets don't look so much as tailored as they do pinned back to accommodate their sporrans.

Regards,
Rex.
