Hi folks,

And NOPE ... this does not belong in Sargents Mess because it ain't about heinies or keisters or bums ....

I just read a reference to "Fannies" ... civilian MT drivers ... and wonder what you all know about these "Fannies" ... sounds very England-ish to me, am I correct to assume it's a British term for their civies who participated in helping the war effort during WW2?

I suppose I could have googled, but today IS REMEMBRANCE DAY and maybe a good time to remember FANNIES by sharing some of the service history knowledge. I'm sure if they were driving in Europe that many lost their lives and should be remembered on this day too? (I don't remember if we've ever talked about this in MLU before, so am sorry if info is already here and I forgot, or just missed it)
