[DITNER, S.M.]

Mr. Tonner:

Thankyou. Prompt, and informative as always.

Interestingly, I came across the term rather frequently in 48th Highlander's regimental history, "Dileas".

I incorrectly assumed that the reference was to a main gun, and thought it might have originated in the Middle East. Ah, the folly of amateurs, what?

P.S. Was in London, at Wolseley last weekend. How sad! The whole place would fit on a postage stamp now. I half expected tumble weed to blow past. No way to treat Canada's most senior regiment......
