    Gerry - we had no such luck with such an erudite quack - we only had Dr. Webb an
    Englishman who had this habit of wandering around minefields gathering up the wounded
    and charging around on top of his White painted Daimler Dingo alongside the Geordie R.C. Priest - cracking jokes - couple of nut cases - the Doc got an M.C. - stay in to become a Lt.Col.....married a nurse he met in Bone.....

    Cheers
    Tom

    Gerry,

    Hilarious stuff !!

    My Dad had Doc Samuels (aka Captain LJ Samuels MC) in 2 LIR. Those men, and their German counterparts, were put to work mightily day after day.

    thanks
