bandsmen/stretcher bearers
In WW1 pipers lead the regimental advance from the front and were stretcher bearers as secondary trade. The attrition rate was obvious and changes had to be made, part way throught WW1 they were held back out of the advance and only piped troops behind the lines.
In WW2 that lesson didn't have to be relearnt. Peter I have no definite idea why Mr. cook would come and give me the silver furrel. Yes, it probably should go to the Calgary Museum, but for now it is something special to me. Gord

HUP doors
Peter,
It is dissapointing to hear of HUP doors being scrapped as my HUP project never started for the reason I could never find all the pieces to make it worthwhile to start a restoration on it.I finally sold it off to another member who used it to make a Burma buggy. It was dissapointing as I really wanted to restore a HUP but am much happier now that I have a complete CMP ambulance to restore.Here is what I had for a HUP;    Derk.
