Canuck Confusion

Hmmmm. we've got the Canadian 8th Hussars fighting but their call sign is Louise (as they are princess Louise's Own) and their GOC goes by Sprinbgok (their mascot).

Maybe it should all be Hussar-This and Hussar-That?

  1. Uh,no. The springbok is the mascot of the Royal Canadian Dragoons, a totally different armoured regiment in the Canadian Army. 8th Canadian Hussars (Princess Louise's) only had a mascot in World War 2. A horse named....Princess Louise. Their nickname is "the crazy eights"

    I guess if you want a call sign you could always go with one of their battles in Italy like Liri Valley or Ceprano.

  2. THanks for the tip. I thin we'll just go with Louise-9 or something
