Hi Wigger
Nice letter from that Veteran and also nice gift from Mr Towes. Well earned. Thank you for looking after our soldiers back then.
A "Fella" is a "Fellow" or "Chap" or "Comrade" or "Man".
"Schu" is a type of German WW2 landmine. Nasty things.
"Zipperhead" is a Canadian Armoured Soldier..................like a:
Bambis- Royal Canadian Dragoon
Channel 8's- 8th Canadian Hussars
Little Dumb Sh*theads- Lord Strathcona's Horse
12th Rubber Boot Company- 12e Regiment Blinde du Canada
First Lose-ars- First Hussars
Gugga Huggas- Governor General's Horse Guards
etc, etc, etc.
Of course outside the fine Armoured Corps there are others:
Princess Patricias Crazy Little Indians, Primarily Women Or Rejects, and Hasty Pees come to mind.
Oh, and how about "Evanescence"

Darrell
