Proud to be British:

Postby Pip » Wed Dec 09, 2015 12:43 am

This notice posted in war-torn Britain in 1940 for golfers with stiff upper lips.

German aircraft from Norway would fly on missions to northern England; because of the icy weather conditions, the barrels of their guns had a small dab of wax to protect them.

As they crossed the coast, they would clear their guns by firing a few rounds at the golf courses.

Golfers were urged to take cover.
