Outstanding selfless spirit by these two guys; I would like to see them both offered a placebo run at any marathons of their choice as a reward for their humanity.

The Citroën 2CV was launched in 1949 as an affordable car for farmers - famously designed to cross a ploughed field without breaking a basket of eggs on the passenger seat.
Production ended in 1990 and it's always good to see a nice one. Even the French stop to look nowadays.

What a powerful image depicting the horrors of Passchendaele brought about by the terrain and the weather during the Third Battle of Ypres. 😞

This exhibit is located at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa, Canada. The display is a powerful and somber diorama depicting a casualty from the Battle of Passchendaele (Third Battle of Ypres) in 1917. At the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa, this striking diorama captures the brutal reality of the Battle of Passchendaele, part of the Third Battle of Ypres in 1917. Fought in Belgium between July and November, the campaign became one of World War I’s most devastating battles, marked by relentless rain, deep mud, and staggering casualties. Over 275,000 Allied soldiers and 220,000 German troops were killed, wounded, or missing during the offensive. Canadian forces, tasked with capturing Passchendaele Ridge in the final phase, suffered more than 15,000 casualties in just a few weeks. Conditions were so severe that soldiers often drowned in mud-filled shell craters, weighed down by their gear.. The battlefield mud at Passchendaele was so dense that artillery pieces and horses frequently sank beyond recovery, forcing armies to abandon vital equipment. #archaeohistories

@TiredOldXY @ukhomeoffice To be punished you have to be caught. Without the will of the government (effectively the HO) the ability to catch them is much reduced therefore the risk of them being punished is negligible.
English
@AngusTurnbull @ukhomeoffice It's not the police. Criminals are deterred by the punishment, not the risk of being caught.

We will halve knife crime within a decade.
Knife crime hotspots will see a surge in police patrols, knife arches and Live Facial Recognition, to catch violent criminals.

@ExBeefeaterDave @ArmyInWales @BritishArmy I don’t see what’s wrong with it Dave; considering the legendary size of the SLR that has got to be the relative size of the GPMG (in Light Role obviously)! 😂😂
English
May I ask a favour @ArmyInWales? Can you please do something about this infoboard (picture 4)? I'm told it has been reported many times over the years but it's still not been sorted 🙄
I realise @BritishArmy are busy at the moment, but this is a really simple fix.

@sommecourt @OldFrontLinePod That's an excellent picture Paul, so much better than the one I have of him so I will use this one in future - and also the information that his son fought in and survived WW2 which I didn't know.
English
@AngusTurnbull @OldFrontLinePod That’s really nice to hear, I’m so glad you’re telling service personnel about him. This is the photo that has hung on my walls for so many years.
