Default Farley boy

Point taken gents.I take in stride all your comments and of course invite them .I am no Farley Mowat hugger.Just a lover of canadian military history.

I just started reading some of Mowat's accounts of his war service over the Xmas holidays, taking a break from the more serious work as a candidate of the Toronto Staff College.

It is fun to venture out of the official history accounts of the Canadian Forces.

I was foretold of his exagerations , inventions and other mindgames.

I caught him redhanded when he said the soldiers were preparing their equipment ,, ''Stens '', rifles and grenades before assaulting a Sicilain town...i knew they had the Thompson not the Sten at that time.

But then he wrote '' No bird sang '' in 1975 nearly 30 years after his service.

Still he has my admiration because he went to war for liberty, justice and freedom from tyranny for theirs, our father's and our children.

Cuddo's to one hell of a Hasty P , that drinking, swearing, exagerating Farley !!
