SlipperyP Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 (edited) Thanks @Eednud The Captain has been missing in action since last Friday, last seen hanging around some loose women. I'm sure he will surface when the times good., The Artillery guns have started, it's Play Off time. Dross Squad this weekend are; Lieutenant General 2nd in Command Playoff @alang1993 v @MSU Brigadier 2nd Division Champion Playoff @Helpma v @Leeds Saint Major Play Off @The DA v @NotThePars Private Play Off @Cardinal Richelieu v @Snobot Question - Lieutenant-Colonel Bertram Best-Dunkley VC. What date did he die? Quote I may just remark that an officer observed in the mess this morning that he supposed that there were some people who liked the Kaiser, but he was sure that there was not a single soul who liked Best-Dunkley! Answer to be signaled to my PM box no later than Monday 06:00 TT Edited October 19, 2019 by SlipperyP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he gets beat in the playoff, surely nothing could go wrong! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blootoon87 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Just as well you're not doing the Brexit negotiations...Excuse me, I think you'll find it's The Captain's by default. The two best words in the English language. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quote that gave a clue to the earliest date. And I guessed something like 14 years before that.

I was trying to find a 'champagne toilet duck' gif but failed. Still, this title means as much to me as the Petrofac trophy... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlipperyP Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 The whistle blows and over the top they went; Dross Squad this weekend were; Lieutenant General 2nd in Command Playoff @alang19936th of September 1918. I'm not entirely sure who the guy is tbh. The Victoria Cross is a helpful clue(I think). I'm sure a lot of them were awarded for stuff world war 1 related, hence my 1918 guess v @MSU Let’s go with August 17, 1917. Brigadier 2nd Division Champion Playoff @HelpmaApril 16th 1916. I shall now go and look him up to find out why I should know him. v @Leeds Saint 21st January 1950 Major Play Off @The DAI'm going to guess at the Boer War, so October 19th 1900. v @NotThePars I'm going with 17th June 1936. Private Play Off @Cardinal Richelieu NO SCORE v @Snobot I’ll say 19th October 1919. Question - Lieutenant-Colonel Bertram Best-Dunkley VC. What date did he die? 5th August 1917 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertram_Best-Dunkley Congratulation @MSU, who returned to tell us about his victory. It was a gallant effort from @alang1993, he was up against one of the best. Champion of Div 2 goes to @Helpma, I'll not post his full message it was the memoirs indeed, he went through a lot to get to his answer. @Leeds Saint, tried the flank move but it never came off. Congratulations @The DA, while winning will also receive a court martial for discussing the Play Off question during battle, @NotThePars, should be kicking himself for notreadingthethread before sending his message. He was shot down while climbing the parapet Also congratulation to @Snobot with his 100 year anniversary date, good idea private, let's see what you can do on your first every promotion lad. As for @Cardinal Richelieu, just as expected from a coward of a man, when you need a man next to you when hell is all around, this man goes AWOL. If anyone is interested I have been reading about WW1 recently https://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/World_War_I_(Bookshelf)#Western_Front_.28France_and_the_Low_Countries.29 Bertram was just chosen randomly, and why not, maybe not a famous name, but still a hero. Famous now on the P&B Quiz Thread. Keep strong and march on. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
