Subject: RE: BS: Christmas Truce (1914)
Last night's programme linked Kitchener's resignation with the shell scandal - it claimed they were the wrong size and women had to be recruited to replace them.

KITCHENER DID NOT RESIGN!
THE SHELLS WERE NOT THE WRONG SIZE!
WOMEN HAD TO BE RECRUITED BECAUSE THE MEN WERE AWAY FIGHTING!

You are out of your depth here Jim.
As my actual quotes from the programmes make clear, they support my views not yours.

Who wants 600?
