And you think YOU need a drink?

'The best drink of my life was the wine I gulped up from a roadside puddle in Crete. The wine was squirting from a bullet hole which had punctured a pigskin full of wine, on a dead donkey lying alongside a dead Cretan where I too was lying wounded while being shot at from a German machine gun'

- LtCol (Retd) Haddon Donald, Letter to Army News, 7 March 2006
