I simply made a cardboard "Pow!!!" and taped it to Will's fist.
Josh, Will and I took turns to be attacker and target of the staged punch.
This seemed to be the best. - obviously I've tweaked the saturation & exposure for effect.

Born in Bavaria in 1880, Alfred John Alexander commenced practising medicine in 1903. By the end of the 1920s he had been elected president of the Berlin Medical Association and counted Marlene Dietrich and Albert Einstein among his patients. According to his great-grandson and biographer Thomas Harding, he and his wife considered themselves “three-days-a-year” Jews because they only attended synagogue at Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Nevertheless they soon began to feel the impact of measures introduced by the Nazis, and in 1936 whilst visiting London Dr Alexander heeded a warning from a friend that it would be unwise to return home. Later joined by his wife, he eventually obtained the necessary qualifications to practice in England. Meanwhile, the medical faculty of the University of Munich had revoked his doctorate on 15 November 1939.
Concerning the reaction to his “Political Liberty in England and Germany” lecture, Dr Alexander writes-
“Always discussion started wihtout hesitation when I finished my lecture... All this may be attributed to the comparatively high standard of re-education in these camps and the excellent preparatory work of CSM Bloch [who] attended all the lectures and took always part in the discussions... A small minority showed a tendency to communism and tried to defend dictatorship of the proletariat...”.
The official Camp 50 report, probably drafted by Staff-Sergeant Kurt Bloch, observes that “some opposition was found at Kirkby hostel, where there was a new intake of about 200 PsOW from other camps”.
Dr Alexander repeated his lecture at various other POW camps, and was naturalised as a British subject in 1947. He died of a heart attack in Zurich in 1950.

The POW/MIA Table
You may notice this small table here in a place of honor. It is set for one.
This table is our way of symbolizing that members of our profession of arms
are missing from our midst. They are commonly call POW's or MIA's…we
call them brothers.
They are unable to be with us this evening and so we remember them.
This table set for one is small... it symbolizes the frailty of one prisoner
against his oppressors.
The table cloth is white... it symbolizes the purity of their intentions to
respond to their country's call to arms.
The single rose displayed in a vase reminds us of the families and loved ones
of our comrades in arms who keep faith awaiting their return.
The red ribbon tied so prominently on the vase is reminiscent of the red
ribbon worn on the lapel and breasts of thousands who bear witness to their
unyielding determination to demand a proper accounting for our missing.
A slice of lemon is on the bread plate... to remind us of their bitter fate.
There is salt upon the bread plate... symbolic of the family's tears as they
wait.
The glass is inverted... they cannot toast with us tonight.
The chair is empty... they are not here.
Remember... all of you who served with them and called them comrades, who
depended on their might and aid, and relied on them... for surely... they have
not forsaken you.
I have to admit I didn't initially spot the subtle embossed "POW" in the centre of this piece. You've got to stand back a bit for it to become apparent.

One from the archives. This is Nathaniel's artwork..... One of his final pieces of his A level. I had to photograph his work so he could use it in his University applications
He posed specifically so that the speech bubble was coming from him.
Done in the style of Roy Lichtenstein
