<HTML>Hi Antonio,
I think that perhaps Luis de la Sierra borrowed the story from a book by Captain Jack Broome R.N. (himself an escort commander during the war) which was titled something like \"Make a Signal\" it covered a lot of that sort of thing. British humour in wartime. There have been a number of books about the sense of humour of Britian\'s fighting forces. If ever you get a chance look at some of the books by Bruce Bairnsfather - an officer and a cartoonist in the Great War. An American book along similar lines is \"Bill Maudlin\'s Army\" - which are cartoons of the American army in WW2
Regards
MPC
