I tried to tell him it was the wrong year (and the unit was Zombies and never left Canada, and that he was confusing the English and French names of two similar units one of which did land in Normandy but wasn't infantry).

A friend of mine who was a former museum curator at that unit tried to tell.

When Mr. Someone-appraised-it-that-way refused to budge we ratted him to the epay cops.

Oh well, maybe he'll argue with the wrong traffic cop and get shot on the spot for public stupidity!
