Frontline Humour

Soldiers are known for their black humour on the frontline as they see the funny side of life in the face of adversity.
But these military personnel have taken things a step beyond in these hilarious images from the battlefield.
These photographs, released by slightlywarped.com, celebrate the best humour from our soldiers, airmen and sailors.

In this collection you will find some great images of the men and women in uniform managing to raise a smile, even when their lives are on the line.
There are the two airmen, dressed in full pilot’s uniform including helmets, racing down the runway with model airplanes strapped around their waists.


Then there is the female pilot flying a jet with her handbag dangling from the airplane’s controls.
Look out for the giant mousetrap that has been made back at base, which is being tested by a soldier with a beer bottle.
