This isn't exactly the same thing but it's interesting anyway.
My cousin drove an F60L in Italy and used to tell about the Gurkhas driving in a convoy. It seems they were told how to shift up but not how to shiftdown. About half way up a hill they'd power out and then come shooting down the hill backwards. After a few of these episodes they'd stop the convoy at the bottom of the hill and all start off in low gear. That way the Gurkhas wouldn't power out and things went smoothly.
