I've been reading a lot of British military history lately.
"The Charge" ( of the Light Brigade) , "A Bridge to Far", "The Falklands War", now I'm reading "The Guns of August".
I was thinking if I ran across one more example of incompetence, stupidity, or just muddling through I was going to scream, so when I got this in my e mail I was on it like white on rice.

Mostly it's a 1991 advertisement for Wilson, but it has some interesting info.
