Hi Wigger

Nice letter from that Veteran and also nice gift from Mr Towes. Well earned. Thank you for looking after our soldiers back then.

A "Fella" is a "Fellow" or "Chap" or "Comrade" or "Man".

"Schu" is a type of German WW2 landmine. Nasty things.

"Zipperhead" is a Canadian Armoured Soldier..................like a:

Bambis- Royal Canadian Dragoon
Channel 8's- 8th Canadian Hussars
Little Dumb Sh*theads- Lord Strathcona's Horse
12th Rubber Boot Company- 12e Regiment Blinde du Canada
First Lose-ars- First Hussars
Gugga Huggas- Governor General's Horse Guards
etc, etc, etc.

Of course outside the fine Armoured Corps there are others:

Princess Patricias Crazy Little Indians, Primarily Women Or Rejects, and Hasty Pees come to mind.

Oh, and how about "Evanescence"

regards
Darrell
