Lynn,
S for Sugar: As did the British Army during the Second World War and into the 1950s. The 1952 War Office Signals Pam lists the phonetic alphabet that includes S for Sugar, but the 1955 pam lists the NATO standardised phonetic alphabet which includes S for Sierra. Not sure when this version was introduced into Australia, but probably around the same time. It was certainly the phonetic alphabet in use in Australia by the mid-1960s. Still, this is straying from Tony's original question: the origin and date of the parody. Mike Last edited by Mike Cecil; 07-05-18 at 22:53.
