As an aside, my dad had the privledge of driving Smokey in his CMP C-60GS to the rear in Italy just after his action defending the bridge.He noted Smokey was wearing coveralls over his battle dress,he was muddy & dirty,and all he wanted was for my dad to stop at the nearest Naafi,where he cud get a cup of tea & a donut,the request of which was accomplished.The quiet hero.

Hi Garry, was this "defending the bridge" thing the action that earned Smokey the VC???
