a fairly large minority would have us beaten before the enemy appeared over the horizon on the basis that we had the weakest regiment, the worst general and a few soldiers were in sick bay. All this despite the fact that first class reinforcements were earmarked to join us. The enemy, of course, will not have any challenges of their own.
The reality is that we should be looking forward to this season. We have a great squad and the window doesn’t close for another month. The squad we field at Birmingham will not be the same one we go into September with. It will strengthen in the next few weeks. |  | | |  |

Did I say non-swimmers are always male ?
Although the assumption that posters on TWTD are always male is, admittedly, a common misconception. |  |

You’ve lost me on that one.
Anyway, Kitchener’s army whose first major action was the Somme in 1916 was made up almost entirely of volunteers. Pals battalions and all that. It is unique in history for an army of that scale to be composed in that way. |  | | |
