Roger: A code word for a gas cylinder and a nickname for rum. Sausage: An observation balloon. Whippet: A small, light type of tank with a top sped of eight m.p.h. The First World War raged for four years, taking with it hundreds of thousands of young soldiers who lived and died together, bonded by the horror of the war. Now, all the way from the trenches and through the letters of Christopher Moore's Captain Cartwright, comes an extraordinary lexicon of the phrases and lingo of life at the front. Whether born from the desperation of gallows humour ('If it keeps on like this, someone's going to get hurt'), borrowed from Cockney rhyming slang, Latin, French and other languages ('Cushy: Comfortable, safe, pleasant. From the Hindustani: khush, pleasure') or even taken from the name of the Huntley and Palmer biscuit company, Tommy had a new word for almost everything. From Ammo to Zig-Zag, this is a fascinating glimpse into the world of our First World War heroes. So fetch the dooly and the other makings, brew up some char, and read on safe in the knowledge that you won't be going over the top today...

No rest for this superhero, not when the woods are full of treachery for his animal friends. Wiley the Whippet, Superhero to the rescue! Says author Karolyn Emore, Wiley the Whippet, Superhero was inspired by my own Whippet, Wiley. Known as the Ferrari of dogs, Whippets have impeccable speed, reaching up to 35 miles per hour. They are also known for their agility, being able to turn corners on a dime. Our Wiley would race around the yard chasing squirrels and jump over branches with ease and grace. It only seemed fitting that he became a superhero. Our Wiley has passed on and is currently sprinting up and down in Doggie Heaven. Karolyn Emore resides in Holly Springs, N.C.When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my three daughters, Paige, Julia and Brooke, and with my amazing husband, Geoff. We play tennis, swim, go for bike rides or just hang out with our two dogs, Butler, a Great Dane, and Kathy, our newest Whippet. http: //sbpra.com/KarolynEmor

This title looks at the Medium Mark A Whippet, one of the most successful British tanks of World War I and, when placed alongside existing titles covering the Mark I, Mark IV and Mark V, completes the New Vanguard series' coverage of the major British tanks of the war. The evolution of the Whippet is examined in detail, from design and development to mechanical details and crew duties, and information on the operational use of the vehicle is drawn from war diaries and battalion records. The Whippet was involved in several well-known incidents that will be presented in this volume, including the clash at Cachy on April 24, 1918, the actions of the 6th Battalion tank known as “Musical Box” on August 8, 1918, and Sewell's Victoria Cross-winning exploits with the 3rd Battalion on August 29, 1918. Mention will also be made of the Whippet's involvement with the Tank Corps' expedition to Russia. In addition to this examination of the Mark A Whippet is a study of the other Medium tanks up to the end of the war: the Medium B, Medium C, Medium D and the experimental American Studebaker tank.
