 Ananova: 
Harry's troops do a Spartacus

Soldiers are heading for Iraq wearing T-shirts saying "I'm Harry" in a show of support for Prince Harry.

The khaki tops also feature a telescopic sight target on the chest, reports the Mirror.

The T-shirts echo the legendary scene of solidarity in epic movie Spartacus.

Militants have pledged to kill Prince Harry in Iraq and the T-shirts are intended as a humorous display of camaraderie.

A senior military source said: "Soldiers are well known for having operational tour T-shirts and also for pulling together to support each other.

"Prince Harry is highly respected by his comrades as a young officer and for what he is doing in the Armed Forces."

The £19.95 shirt is being sold on eBay and advertised under a rallying call of "I'm Spartacus, I'm Harry, We're all Harry now. Confuse the enemy, wear the T-shirt".

It is meant to copy a scene in the classic 1960 film Spartacus when Kirk Douglas's character is protected from Romans hunting him down after a battle.

Captured slaves are urged to hand over Spartacus for crucifixion - but instead they all stand up and say: "I'm Spartacus."
