"Here again is what was said by the Oxford historian found by YOU!"
The soldiers were lying again - no change there then?
Unlike you, I do not hide behind the claims of 'historians' - they wren't there - especially if they are contradicted by actual word-of-mouth evidence.
The reference to newspaper claims and men being told so by their superiors appear on various links on the web, Tommy Kenny's statement is only a personal confirmation.
Not been "shot down - are you serious - the only way you can make such a claim is by ignoring the facts put before you - in this case by Paxman's Programmes - one more time wrong shells, sending soldiers in unprepared, racketeering, dishonest recruitment... and all the other jingoistic bollocks you have pontificated on.
Why do you insist on spoiling these threads for others with your lies and distortions - does it give you the buzz you're obviously not getting elsewhere?
