Letter Home from Coire, week 5 |

Dear Mum,
Thank you for your kind letter, even in these darkest days it reached me, to bring a little bit of the home I remember to our little fox hole.
As if that wasn't enough sunshine into my life, a few days later I find myself fighting side by side with my good Brother Frenchy in Coire.
The gentle fog that made it difficult to remember his face, and pretend it was on the head of every enemy that rushed our way, was lifted. All I had to do was look at good old Bruv, and every detail was etched into my mind and transferred onto the unfortunate others. My effectiveness was raised to previously unknown levels.
The ban on accidentally discharging ones weapons in the barracks and the fact that he would probably out draw me anyway, kept any conversation on My 'His' girl taboo. So both my, and his heavy stayed firmly targeted on the enemy.
Those guys from FOK were in for a shock.
Last minute reinforcements from the rear arrived, with Lonewolf carrying a light, we were lucky to get him, we would of been into war undermanned.
As the first half raged, it seemed all the luck that we had missed, was left out on the battlefield somewhere. We struggled desperately with the enemy pushing us back four times to our two. Then as the end drew near a shift in control could be felt with the hope of a victory not completely out of our grasp.
The tide turned, hard pushes from our assault team of Ripshot and Lonewolf rolled back the enemy.
Minister of information, Colonel Krust reached out to touch someone with the gentle caress of his sniper rifle, and in dark contrast Variable introduced all comers to Mr. Rocket and spread them thinly around the surrounding area.
Under this unending barrage we pulled a five cap lead and victory seemed assured, we were three ahead with mere minutes before rain stopped play.
But war wears you down, the early use of the whiskey ration and FOK pulled two caps back, the chance of defeat was all too real.
It was only once back to barracks, and we counted ears around the fire that we knew for sure the day was ours.
We made it I&S 403 to 379 FOK, that's a lot of ears anyway you cut it!
So lots of Love, your undying son.
PS, tell my girl I have a strange itch.

Hi All,
Just a question on formating, looking at the way this is supposed to hold together, would the membership prefer a preface paragraph on the front page and then the story on a click through, or would you prefer the whole story spammed up on the front page as I have currently done.
Small issue, but it has been bugging me! Thanks for your help.
