Although, in a certain light...

And in answer to your question - jokes, often in what some people see as poor taste, are one of the ways in which we make sense of tragedy and disaster. I suspect that there was a list of Somme jokes going around army messes by about the beginning of September 2016. Just like there will already be Aleppo jokes going around Syrian ex-pat groups around the world, and they will be laughed at by people who've lost close relatives.

As opposed to crass jokes made up by civilians with no right to make them.

You "suspect" what you like but on the assumption that you're not a world authority on the art and sociology of comedy, may we demur?

Sorry Rich! The only resemblance I could find here is the bowler.
