I read an earlier article (didn’t read this one) where his other mates came running after hearing all the screaming and thought the mate under the truck was half-dead and in pain. It was actually the hero screaming as he lifted the truck! When the others heard this they all started laughing (”gone mad”) while still trying to help their mate and dodging enemy fire!! And the hero said something like “and it was fitting to be acting as such as it was November 5th”. I wonder what is so special about Nov. 5th? (I think that was the date??) Perhaps the premiere of the first Monty Python movie!?

That is an interesting addition, but puzzles me. It is October 4th as I write, and the reference to “November 5” would put that statement as made nearly a year ago. I suspect the date, whatever it is, is related to Gallipoli.

November 5th is Guy Fawkes Day - He tried to blow up Houses of Parliament in 1605.

On that day there are Bon Fires and fireworks all over England.
