Re: Jackie Fisher
Sorry for the wear and tear on your finger. I too have clicked on a post based on a scurrulous titling ruse, so I feel your pain, but we all have our cross to bear. Mine, alas, is a fascination with aircraft. You are very correct in your remark regarding the effectiveness of rifle caliber bullets on the barges. None, whatsoever. However, they would have the effect of interrupting the card games of the troops inside the barges, as well as causing the men to lose their footing on the blood. I do not know if the Germans knew the gambit of keeping buckets of sand handy to preclude such an eventuality.
