Happy St Barbara's Day 2016 to all gunner, sappers, naval weapons type and anyone who works with explosives. Still, by way of a reminder, there are two kinds of people, gunners and targets.
And we never forget those we serve, as Kipling wrote in his 1903 poem:
Ubique means that warnin’ grunt the perished linesman knows,
When o’er ’is strung an’ sufferin’ front the shrapnel sprays ’is foes;
An’ as their firin’ dies away the ’usky whisper runs
From lips that ’ave n’t drunk all day: “The Guns! Thank Gawd, the Guns!”
