Dodge M37, 1953

[RCEMERalf]

An infamous ex-Brit commissioned from the ranks in the Canadian Army infantry, John Klee ( no kidding, I forget his regimental affiliation, he was wearing an Airborne hat badge as I knew him ) expounded, " Any fool can be uncomfortable". The MRTs used a lot of initiative to enhance their living conditions in the field. This was well-deserved as compensation, some what, for laying in the mud under some vehicle trying to get it mobile.
John was one of the most remarkable soldiers I ever met. A story teller of considerable skill- and it was mostly all true, perhaps slightly enhanced. Another of his sayings was," Infamy is better than no fame at all". His exploits certainly qualified him in this regard. Despite a life- time, persistent, indulgence in the spirits, his last posting as a Captain was to the Airborne Center conducting experimental parachute trials. Go figure!
Sorry for getting off the topic. I may be beyond help in this regard.
