Caring on form my past posts here is another episode of one of my favourites Charley’s War.
Charley’s War by Pat Mills and Joe Colquhoun featured in the Battle Picture Weekly later to be re-printed in the Eagle till it’s closed in the mid 1990’s.
This episode takes place during the battle of the Somme 1916 not long after Charley watches his best friend (Ginger) get blown to bits by a stray German shell.
In this episode Charley meets his brother in law Oliver or Oily as he is later to be known by.
Oily had married his sister while he was away in flounders now Oily has been conscriped and is one of the new replacments to arrive on the some during the "Great Battle"
During the battle The British used there new secrest weapon The Tank. This was the first time the Tank had been used in a mass attack on the German line.
