Valued reader Andrew MacGregor caught an error. We had the 8th Hussar's nicknamed the Springboks. In fact that was the Royal Canadian Dragoons.
This error has a long history and we'll start at the beginning.
Originally we planned the Canadian chapter of Polish Storm thinking Rick Hillier commanded the Canadian 4th Mechanized Brigade Group. Turns out in 1990 he was only commanding a regiment. We thought this regiment was the Dragoons, but in fact Hillier commanded the 8th Hussars.
Oy..which ruined our entire plan as Hillier is the only 'modern' Canadian officer we could find general info on...until valued reader Andrew MacGregor came along and pointed out General Geaudreau to us.
We are indebted...MacGregor, you magnificent bastard we read your book!
Lol. And I'm eagerly looking forward to your next one!
ReplyDeleteBTW, it's Gaudreau, not Geaudreau.
