Use Your Loaf

The term "Use your loaf " comes from WW1 when trench warfare played a large
part in battle. Sniperfire was rampant so if a soldier who had been lying in
a trench for some time and popped his head up to see if all was clear he'd
be likely to lose it. So instead they used to stick a loaf of bread from
their rations on their bayonet and raise that in the air instead. Just
thought i'd share that one for ya readers.
