Doc,
Thank you. This is great

From an army handbook on grenades I have (it says "Australian Imperial Force" at the top, which gives you an idea as to how old it is), says:

(On practice) "It should be remembered that this can be easier learned in Australia than in face of the enemy where practice may be interrupted by his kind attentions."

"Never hold on to a grenade or tell a funny story after it is alight - you may never reach the point."

"Short pity lecturettes should be given on subjects..."

Pithy indeed.
