British Royal Navy signals, on the other hand,have always been short, unambiguous, and very much to the point, sometimes with humourous consequences-----During the Second World War, for example,there arose somewhat of a crisis regarding the supply and availability of the cloth known as Blue Serge, which was much used for Naval uniforms, both for males, and the "Wrens" ( Womens Royal Naval Service.) At some point, during this crisis, a signal was sent in order to establish a priority for officers' uniforms, which read--

Wrens Skirts Are To Be Held Up Until The Needs Of Officers Have Been Satisfied ....!!

Really !
