My cousin was in XXX Corps in Italy. He told us of the "Battle for the Pig"! A big old sow was between the Canucks and the Germans, and an artillery duel erupted , each side trying to scare the pig towards their own position. The Canadians finally sortied out at night and "Brought home the bacon", but only after many thousands of dollars worth of ammo was expended. He said the bite of fresh pork that he got was worth every penny!
