  1. Today, 100 years ago, Colonel Hugh Elles gave the Tank Corp its Green, Red and Brown Flag which he flew from his tank. Making his famous speech, Special Order No.6, he said:

    “Tomorrow the Tank Corps will have the chance of which they have been waiting for many months – to operate on good going in the van of the Battle.

    All that hard work and ingenuity can achieve has been done in the way of preparation.

    It remains for Unit Commanders and tank crews to complete the work by judgement and pluck in the battle itself.

    In the light of past experience, I leave the good name of the Corps with great confidence in your hands.

    I propose leading the attack of the centre Division.”

    I've just worked out how to do it.

    1) click on the little arrow next to your name at the top of the page

    2) click on 'account settings'

    3) click on 'edit profile' (which is on the left-hand side of the page)

    4) a 'Edit Profile' box should appear

    5) type something witty in 'member title'

    6) click on 'save' (it's at the bottom of the box)

    7) sit back and congratulate yourself on what clever boy (or girl) you are.

    Yup he,s right 

    On the scale of understanding the Universe it may not score high but hey its suited us
