A WW2 British Tommy

[Flying10uk]

Aussies will put a twist on any lingo

A good one that I heard was the "Australian for" angle grinder = "sparky wheel".

The photo and information came from the soldier himself but time does play tricks with memory and he had just fought a war. He probably had more important things to think about than trying to remember when exactly he drank a bottle of pop.

I did wonder if the beverage in question was in fact not Coca Cola but perhaps something else that has largely been forgotten in the UK, Dandelion & Burdock or maybe Ginger-beer.
