Yup S2, Cambrai, it was won by the British and is still celebrated each year by the tank regiments, whereby the Officers and senior ranks wake up the troops, called gunfire, with a hot cup of tea laced with rum ,and then they serve the troops their main meal , its also a time for sports, off V troops etc etc all in fancy type dress if they wanted, and the night time festivities are rounded off with an all ranks ball, it / is/was, a day when the troops could get away with calling the officers by their Christian names, and the day in general was great fun, as i think mayhem was the order of the day, YOU WILL ENJOY YOURSELF SOLDIER, and remember the men who died so you can go and celebrate... pass the bottle opener... Rupert, sir. :)
