I believe that this sign - on the upper corner of the 56 Inf Div HQ's main briefing map board - was described in FM Gerald Templer's memoirs. Left Flanking attack - tail left, right flanking - tail right. Tail straight - straight up the middle! He was famous for having been wounded in Italy by a flying piano - when an Officers' Mess 3 ton truck ran over a mine trying to pull over onto a verge to let the GOC's Jeep pass. Mike
