Hi Norm, as you well know I'm not a 39er but I believe another bugler Frank Dow was known as the jeep and I have no idea why. He went on to become an officer in the Ordinace Corps and stayed in the army after the war. I believe that Frank was the son of Johny Dow who was the Steward in the Sergeants mess for awhile. Jimmy Raffan of the Pipe Band is still around I'll see if I can get a message to him for verification.
