This is how you do it ...
Spurly, latest in the line of expendable Asian soldiers that we Brits always like to send over the top first so that we can count the enemy's guns...
Matth - an experienced insect trainer to keep the bugs at arm's length
Piskie - foraging - root veg, mushrooms and daisy chains
Comm - we are bound to be given **** rations including dodgy sausages .... and he's a renowned dodgy sausage merchant
Sucky - because I couldn't take his blubbing if I don't include him
Libby - wouldn't need a periscope to look over the top
Skyrimmer - expert tunnel digger with an exceptionally low centre of gravity
.... and finally, Quentin (sometimes known as HIAG) ... not because he's a huge target (which he is of course) to take the snipers attention off me .. more that his uncanny resemblance to the Hindenberg will deter the German snipers trying to put holes in him in case the explosion causes them some collateral damage .... although we may have to keep an eye out for Bodinki attempting his own unique deflation tactics on poor old Quents
All done
