The Poms have a good war gesture if they want to use it. When the Scots captured the famous longbow men they used to cut off the first two fingers of their right hand so they couldn't use the bow again. Longbowmen before a battle used to raise two fingers which said "Come and get these if you can."

Wonder how the kiwis would react to that war salute?

Jerry

Jerry ,
the Scots did not fight against the English at the Battle of Agincourt .
The Hundred Years War was between France and England .

How would we Kiwi react ?
Same as usual mate , we salute back

Jock, I don't see the words "Battle of Agincourt" mentioned anywhere in Jerry's post. I'm not a history buff though, so it doesn't matter a stuff to me .

The salute he wrote about comes from the Battle of Agincourt and
the Hundred Years War .
There maybe an outside chance , a very slim one , that it is a myth .
One thing is for certain , no historian that I can find , of have placed the incident in any battle between Scotland and England .

Who cares where it came from? It is a good yarn and as stated this is a jokes forum.

Get real folks.
