Richard 100 not out

"Just before lunch I saw Winston wandering off towards the Rhine, and wondered where he was off to. He had to cover a considerable distance to reach the bank of the Rhine, but this is where he was heading for and on arrival he solemnly relieved himself in the Rhine! I could only see his back, but felt certain that on his face was the same boyish grin of contentment that I had seen at the Siegfried line on a similar occasion"

Bit of a military tradition using every successful river crossing as a toilet. Seem to recall not uncommon among many great commanders, ancient & modern.

Well you would, wouldn't you.

Completely Wrong. - I don't like Coffee, strictly spirits in the evenings.
As for the rest of your assessment.... erm... Where's the hidden camera?

Looks like the commentary on Churchill's trip to the river is one of AB's additional notes to the diaries, added at a later date.

 

I pissed in the Shatt Al Arab on several occasions-Mainly because it was more hygenic than the porta loo's
