Arthur Russell’s 1977 memoir recalled that ‘At 4 o’clock this Christmas Day [1917] afternoon my gun was due to fire ive hundred rounds as a yuletide gift to the Jerries over the way.’ George Coppard had found himself in a similarly unfestive mood on Christmas Eve 1915:

I can categorically state that we were in no mood for any joviality with Jerry. In fact, after what we had been through since Loos, we hated his bloody guts. We were bent on his destruction at each and every opportunity for all the miseries and privations which were our lot. Our greatest wish was to be granted an enemy target worthy of our Vickers gun.
