Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes, once traveled to Switzerland. When he arrived, he took a taxi and the driver told him he wouldn't charge him if he autographed a book.
Conan Doyle, surprised, asked the taxi driver how he knew he was a writer, and the taxi driver replied: "Easy, your shoes are covered in dust that isn't from here. From the pattern of your shoes, I see that they are English shoes. So it's English dust. You have an ink stain on your toes, so you are a writer, a British writer."
Shocked, Conan Doyle replied: "You are smarter than Sherlock Holmes."
"Yes sir, and your suitcases clearly have Arthur Conan Doyle written on them."
Today, we honour the brave men who answered their country’s call and fought on the first day of the Battle of the Somme.
On this day in 1916, the British Army endured the bloodiest single day in its military history, suffering 57,470 casualties.
Their Name Liveth For Evermore.
