A great photo

Polking around the web this morning I stumbled across this photo of some highland soldiers. In light of the events in Ottawa this week, and mindful that this year marks the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the First World War, (the approximate vintage of the photo, I believe) it is good to see the lads having fun. Poor fellow. If you look closely he is about to loose his belt.

And perhaps more than that!

Thank God he was wearing a heavyweight!

That looks like fun.

One would hope centrifugal force might somehow come into effect, otherwise some flashing may occur.

Knowing how bored soldier on bivouac will entertain themselves, I believe the chap in trousers (far left) may have an interesting blend in his pipe and may have started the whole contest for giggles sake.
