Blue Putees
Hi again Norm in sunny California.
All I know is that they couldn't afford green putees,so somehow they obtained blue ones from the Navy,and became the Blue Putees.By the way,they weren't a highland regiment,This was related to me by a Mr Ches Baker from the ROCK.They're the regiment who lost most of their men in the fatal charge at Beaumont Hamel.Only 60 of the original regiment answered roll-call afterwards,and today,on each July 1st,they don't celebrate Canada Day but that fateful day of the charge.Look up Beaumont Hamel for their full story
