rifleshooter2,

  ;D ;D ;D Now, that's tastefully funny! I like your sense of humor...... However, I do have one questions regarding the vent man. I notice that he may have a prosthetic left hand. Was this due to a previous mortar accident???

     I don't recognize their uniforms, but the "military bearing" is unmistakable as is their precision and rigid positioning as they practice artillery drill "by the book".  You clearly have a great looking mortar as well as a proper stack of "ready ammunition".

Very well done!

With seventy gunners be'ind me, an' never a beggar forgets
