 Who gets deployed to the frontlines and thinks “I’d better pack a football just in case”?

On the opening day of the Somme Offensive, a British officer named W P Nevill kicked two footballs into no-man's land towards the German trenches and promised to reward the troops that reached it first. Nevill was killed minutes later and the British army suffered about 60,000 casualties that day.

Yeah that was the first Christmas on the front lines. It really freaked out the generals and they made sure it never happened again.

While this certainly happened on parts of the line, and I know it's been limited in scope. There's always a part of me that's like "Alright call up gunny, he's gonna love meeting 2nd Lt. Scoper" like there was enough hooch for that to happen after a good run.

They should've shot their officers, that way they could've kept playing. Then again shooting your officers is the solution to most problems.

Icochet posted:They should've shot their officers, that way they could've kept playing. Yeah I mean obviously I can't fully know what it was like to be some grunt but if I just watched thousands of dudes charge at machine guns and get nowhere close and then my CO is all "alright boys our turn once more unto the breech!!!" I'd either immediately feign getting shot as soon as we left the trench or just frag that dude. Or pretend I had some important secret missive to deliver to the general staff and desert. Or some combo of the three. What are they gonna do, shoot me? Moridin920 fucked around with this message at 05:55 on Dec 21, 2018 |

They had to shuffle a number of troops away from that particular area because they couldn't muster the urge to get back to killing each other after playing footy
