I'm guessing up to a third of the crew was on holiday or days off at any give time, plus there is sick leave to consider. I want to know where the bunk room was. :wink2: It had to be one crowded, hot, and noisy job. -- Al

Hi,
The Poilu on the horse/pony reminds me of this:


Remnants of an Army by Elizabeth Butler depicting the arrival of assistant surgeon William Brydon at Jalalabad on 13 January 1842.
