We asked you to think of something appropriately witty for this image taken from our article on the Long Range Desert Group, from the August/September issue of Military History Matters. Here are the winners:
WINNER:
‘The men were contemplating how they would make their issue of toilet paper last a whole month.’ — Paul Bennett
RUNNERS-UP:
‘It looks like we’ve all been furloughed. Get your coats men. We’re all off to the pub.’ — Stuart Cooper
‘What’s black and white and red all over? Men in the desert most likely.’ — Antony Ward
