fv1609 Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 Ok in summary of what has been deduced so far. We have: Flag for a latrine built by the British Army Not specifically for officers Not likely to be for women Not for the public Not specifically a special urinal So someone has been left out. :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fv1609 Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 Horses? :-DBut they just seem to do it whenever & wherever they like judging by the mess round here. (I digress but I wonder if anyone has successfully toilet trained a horse? They seem altogether rather casual about the whole process) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fv1609 Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 Well, someone has to clean out stables, and deposit the results somewhere...Stables I can understand, but it is the casual way that it is done just when even walking along, as my driveway will testify to.

fv1609 Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 Reserved for It Ain’t Half Hot Mum concert party...Not specifically reserved for them Bernard. That was in Burma I think so these signs could have been there but some ancillary staff could not use such facilities. So we have: Flag for a latrine built by the British Army Not specifically for officers Not likely to be for women Not for the public Not specifically a special urinal Not for horses Not specifically for concert parties but they could use it but not certain ancillary staff MO 159 gives a clue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fv1609 Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 NCO's? Other Ranks? Men? Yes! Well done, the lot! British troops! The final question is in what parts of the world would this have been?

fv1609 Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 Just to round things off then. This flag was used in places other than India i.e. it is the complimentary flag to MO 159. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeePig Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Well, I think I might have helped clear the way to the answer, no way did I want to get the correct answer for both latrine questions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
