Harrys Hotel
Some where close to the front in Italy WW11. Harry and his tank buddies getting ready for some shut eye.All the lads dig a slit trench under the tank and pile in, too tired from a hard days drive to worry about it but Harry refuses to be a part of it.He mutters to the others that he would rather trust his own judgement then sleep in their company that was not fit for swine,so off he goes about 50 yards away and makes his shelter near an old ruined building.
The others watch as he labours for 2 hours,digging and dragging scavenged comforts to his new home.At last his lavish duggout is finished complete with an old bath and even an old mattress.
Everyone is happilly nodding off when in comes a German artillery stonk.Over as soon as it began attention is soon fixed in Harrys direction.A massive lump of mud has been blasted high on to a wall ,and they all watch in amazement as this slimey glob begins to slide and eventually peel and fall right off over Harrys new home,completely burying him.After digging the sodden bugger out ,Harrys swearing and cursing and they are all in hysterics at the sight of him and his ordeal.After they get him cleaned up and a cup of hot tea into him the fellas invite him to share there humble abode in which Harry gingerly accepts.
