    Lieutenant Flashman wins the Military Cross by rushing into the path of an advancing Jerry tank in order to save his cache of looted cognac from certain destruction; overly polite Germans obligingly halt lead tank, throwing entire armoured formation into confusion, thereby sapping their attack of all momentum and granting British Army precious time in which to rally to counterattack.

    Col. Bluett: Listen, you Huns over there. If you don't surrender forthwith, I shall have no option but to order my driver to crush your puny trench on the count of three. One... two... Sgt. Miller (on left): Sir, perhaps you should take two steps to the rear. Sir?

    Maybe the French military borrowed their armour design from the Australian bushranger Ned Kelly? Who knows... I borrowed this image for a blog post over at CherryFingers Dynasty. Thanks for the fantastic pic.
  • Erny van Wijk said:
    this looks more like a drawing than a photo. Might it be an artist impression of an eyewitness account ?
  • Simon Trimby said:
    The body armour looks better made than the helmet, and appears to be the pre-war armour worn by cuirassiers (heavy cavalry). If so, it wasn't bullet-proof!
  • Steven Sanders said:
    It wasn't uncommon for photographs to be drawn over back then. Lots of photos use hand touch ups to bring out detail, this one just takes it to an extreme.

    Also in Italy "arditi" soldiers used to wear that, if I'm not wrong. But it wasn't so bullet-proof.
