Subject: RE: BS: Christmas Truce (1914)
The wrong shells were sent to the troops
Kitchener's position was undermined, he eventually resigned
Women were recruited to produce the right shells
All was covered succinctly in last nights programme
Whether they were the wrong size or not is really immaterial - they were the wrong ****** shells - end of story.
Also covered last night was the mass profiteering that was going on back home
Large Rent increases, with families being turned out on the streets when they were unable to pay.
