I say, what jolly scrapes! Followed by some cocoa and bread and dripping no doubt. Slightly at a loss at what that all had to do with the injured soldiers afterwards, but hey, I'm no WWII General. Also, 10 days of herringboning before they were allowed their first run?! Prefer a nursery slope and magic carpet, myself.
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I learned to ski in Cyprus with the Forces in the 70's -- we weren't allowed on the T-bar for the first four days! Having to herringbone back up the slope was truly Knackering.........
