Syphilis, Boo Boo and the Clap, what a combination.

Knew a few who got that lot, more than once I might add.

Yuch.

Sounds like our 3 most decorated gunners, pyer, dia and gunner

In Northern Ireland in the 70's through to late 90's in certain areas they may have had a rear gunner on a Milk Float :rolleyes:

Hope they didnt sell green yoghurt, and was part of his duties to put the bottles on the doorstep. And also wore gloves JS.

Rear Gunners, plenty of them on UCL and others.

BRITAIN'S COASTAL DEFENCES

Pooh', the second of two 14-inch guns emplaced at St Margaret's, near Dover, 10 March 1941. The first gun, named 'Winnie', was in place by August 1940 and 'Pooh' followed in February 1941. Both came from the reserve stock of guns for the 'King George V' class of battleships, and were mounted on modified naval barbettes. Manned by Royal Marine gunners, they were mostly employed in counter-battery fire with German batteries on the French coast.
