I think he's some sort of pervy flasher, but wasn't sure which sausage he was supposed to expose.....sorry.  :-[

I still don't get why the image shows a French infantryman.

I'd have got it if matey had a picklehaub on...It would make more sense.

Cheers - Phil

It is, supposedly, a colourised version of a black and white image taken during WW1.

So he's wearing a French helmet because he's French, Phil.

Yes....but French sausages aren't called 'wursts', are they ?  :-\

Was this oik caught doing swappsies with his adversaries from another trench ?

Cheers - Jamie Oliver.

(I'm disappointed that no-one noticed the historical numpty knew that matey was wearing a French helm. ;))

I fear you may be overestimating the requirement  for strict historical accuracy when attempting humour, Phil :)

I fear that my sense of humour has gone AWOL, at the mo' Mike.  =)

He'll be wise to consort only with officers if he visits the English trenches (donkeys are herbivores).

He will have to go a long way behind the lines to find them.

Given the poor quality of food in the trenches these sausages are probaby bRATwurst

I was hoping for some insight into the British officer who assisted Herta Heuwer with her curry supplies in postwar Berlin.

This led to the greatest of German cuisine - the Currywurst.

I miss the German Market in B'ham . . .

We have one of those, but a few years ago it visibly changed, and the accents became a lot more Estuary than German. And again, I doubt it'll be here this year.
