Hi

Can't help with the nickname you mentioned but did hear another. From the wife's Granfather when I was courting her; "Storebought, Dumbass and ?? Highlanders". I can't remember the last bit but he though it was hilarious.

Oh, he was a Riley (RHLI) and is mentioned in "There's a Goddamn Bullet for Everyone". Lost a leg to a Schu mine on the Goch-Calcar Road too. Great fella. Had to be; he let his Grandaughter knowingly marry a Zipperhead!

Forgive my possible irrelevance.

regards
Darrell
