1914to1919: Five soldiers recuperating in the sun, during World War I by National Library of Scotland on Flickr.  Yes, they’re outside taking some sun, with blankets and parasols and lots of pillows. What of it? Think you wouldn’t like a little relaxation on a nice sunny day under a parasol in your very own portable bed if you’d been stuck in a trench getting foot-rot and attempting to avoid drowning in mud while people shot at you and tried to get you blown up for months on end until someone actually managed to do a halfway decent job of it? I thought so. Now sit down and shut up and stop begrudging the lads a little time off to recuperate while they’re fitted for prosthetics and try to recover from major and barely-anaesthetised surgeries.
