Who is a pretty boy then?

I'll try it down at the saloon. "One of my oldest friends (well, he IS pretty old!), Le Chevalier, oh, I just call him Brian... Anyway, Brian - Le Chevalier to you - was telling me that Monty - that would be General Montgomery to you - was just a splendid fellow; always made sure his boys had plenty of tea and bully beef and if they had a bottle of contraband claret or brandy rattling around in their kit, well, he was a gentleman wasn't he? He'd give them a wink and go on his way slaughtering every German in his path."


This might actually work in Arizona. Back in Alaska, I'd have to explain that a Chevalier and a Chevrolet are completely different things. That a Chevalier rides a fiery steed and a Chevrolet runs on an internal combustion engine.

 

What a laugh mates. I dont care what they call me, as long as its not too late for breakfast.....I took a tumble recently, the medics turned out to get me back on my feet. Just could not get up.They spent more time looking at the medal cabinet They dont get to treat old Normandy Veterans often.

 

That reminds me. My book "Cameos of War" is still available£11 in the UK £20 overseas.
Its a first hand account of that great upheaval ,from Sword to Overloon. It is a realistic true life account, not the dusty tales produced by historians. Proceeds go to BLESMA the charity that treats our limbless young service men returning from war.So far they have had £750 pounds for BLESMA . And for Julia's House. The hospice for little dying children, the book raised £200. This ninety year old is quite proud of the money raised for our young men....

 

Good on you Sapper.

Not a lot of people know that Heavy Medal was inspired by hero's...i kid, i kid.
