[all-action-all-picture]

The De Lisle Carbine. Produced between 1942 and 1945 it may have been the quietest of all silenced firearms. It was designed around a Lee-Enfield, used .45cartridges and had an integral silencer.

No prizes for guessing the artwork here is by Geoff Campion as his signature gives that away. Not often you see his signature on his comics work.

This was a back page feature from Battle No. 337, dated 17 October 1981. Treasury of British Comics.

The Girl with the Flaxen Hair

On the lucerne midst flowers in bloom, Who sings praises to morning? It is the girl with golden hair, The beauty with lips of cherry. For, love, in clear summer sunlight, Has soared with the lark and sung now. Your mouth has such colours divine, My dear, so tempting to kisses. On grass in bloom, talk to me, please, Girl with fine curls and long lashes. For, love, in clear summer sunlight, Has soared with the lark and sung now. Do not say no, cruel maiden. Do not say yes. Better to know The long lasting gaze of your eyes And your rosy lips, oh, my belle. For, love, in clear summer sunlight, Has soared with the lark and sung now. Farewell, you deer, farewell you hares And the red partridge. I want To stroke the gold of your tresses Smothering lips with my kisses. For, love, in clear summer sunlight, Has soared with the lark and sung now.

Sir Ian Hamilton's optimism | 18 Aug 1915

#OTD in #WW1 Every time Sir Ian Hamilton fails at #Gallipoli, he gets *more* convinced that his next attack will succeed...

Hamilton’s optimism I can’t help but find it fascinating, bizarre, and perverse that the worse things get for Sir Ian Hamilton, and the more evidence he gets that he was right before all the major offensives so far to worry that they were impractical and unworkable, the more optimistic he becomes about the possibility of future success. He’s had a fresh conference to settle arrangements for the…

Gas masks | 16 Aug 1915

#OTD in #WW1 More attacks planned on Gallipoli; the War Office invents a farting gas mask.

Hypo Helmet There’s a new and exciting innovation in France. The initial response to the threat of German gas attack had been the Hypo “helmet”, a rather odd affair that looks like nothing so much as the top half of a Halloween ghost costume. It had been rather a stop-gap measure, a flannel bag soaked in chlorine-neutralising chemicals. There’s no ventilating tube and only a single rectangular…

Kiretch Tepe | Medical facilities | 15 Aug 1915

#OTD in #WW1 Hopeless attack on #KiretchTepe at Suvla, Gen Mahon goes off in a sulk, a casualty describes evacuation

Kiretch Tepe Sir Ian Hamilton has, I think it’s fair to say, now been robbed of whatever ability he might have had to judge a situation. IX Corps is opposed by, on the most favourable estimation, an equal number of men. Most of the Ottomans have had three days or more to dig themselves trenches, set up their artillery, and generally make things difficult. General de Lisle has been listening to…
