<p>[QUOTE=&quot;springfld.arsenal, post: 1930675, member: 54&quot;]Watching “Quest” tv, old History Channel stuff, I “learned” that the British&nbsp; were fearful of running out of water during the WWI Battle of Cambrai, <b>because they used the water to hide the smoke from their machine guns.</b>&nbsp; Right!&nbsp; Anyone who knows anything knows the Vickers machine gun was water-cooled, and the water was needed for the cooling jackets.&nbsp; They did mention that in an emergency, urine could be substituted.&nbsp; To hide gun smoke?&nbsp; I can almost see it now, but I don’t want to.&nbsp; The producers should have shelled out for some competent technical advisors.[ATTACH=full]245613[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
