Strange that you missed out the pertinent line in your response Tery.

The line that stated "we were all run up for mutiny"


Why strange Raggy? How or why was that line either relevant or important with regard to the point being made? I take it that you do know the meaning of the phrase "being run up" for something Raggy? It means being marched in at the double {Hence the "run" part of it} and charged with something as a defaulter. And as you no doubt know it is one thing to be charged with something, and something completely different to be found guilty as charged. Tell me Raggy did Harry Patch say that he was found guilty or did he say that the investigating Officer found in favour of the men and that the Officer who had drawn and cocked his weapon was moved out of the unit?
