Interesting stuff. I hope we don't end up as the 'completely annihilated' option.

Maybe Frank should wear a tartan rug as a kilt. Jakob has already set the president for letting things 'be free'.

OK, so nicknames the troops might have for the officers, based on their Collace dialect...

So far I have:

Major Prerna "Ballroom" Nayer ["Raspberry" might work here]
Lieutenant Jakob "Crackers" Domici [he likes to show them off and has a lot of them in battle, better choice than "Niagara", "Cobblers" or "Hampton"]
Freya "Boat" Ingridsdottir [based on where she likes to shoot people]

...and then I ran out of ideas

:)

EDIT:Hint for our friends across the pond, it's cockney rhyming slang

So many options for that one, although as Jakob is his first name it was the best one.

The Regimental March past could borrow the Tom Petty classic:

I'm freeeee,
Free Ballin'

I'll get on with working on the combat now.... :roll:

Yes, please. Try not to ruin any more songs while you're at it. :cry: That came on the radio many years ago, as I was driving to my divorce hearing. Apropos, and until now it was a fond memory...

Hmm, an opportunity to change Jess' nickname....

Nah, it'll only be worse :?

Here's another extract from Alan Moorehead's a Year of Battle. The echoes from Persia in 1941 to Inchin are amusing. Different, yes, but similar:

Very interesting - the parallels are really quite profound. Clearly I have revealed in myself an astonishing yet entirely useless ability to foretell the past! :roll: :P

I tried to find this, so I could provide another amusing cockney nickname, but couldn't. I don't suppose someone could help me out here?

And the passage from the book is eerily familiar. :-)

Probably something about her juggling. Or jiggling her...

:shock: :?

It was one time, and only Freya was there. Well, and Gaughan and Lanigan, but they’re not in our unit yet...

May be Gaughan should be nicknamed (Postman) Pat!

(Spends all his time with Jess)

(Just watching Postman Pat the movie for the 800th time) :cry:

Still working on Jess, maybe "Red" or "Master", juggle, jiggle and wobble doesn't really have a cockney equivalent.

Or perhaps "Babs" after the well known (Collace) comedy actress Barbara Windsor, I'm sure she has a 'filthy laugh' and bra malfunction. Or am I confusing the laugh with Sid James?

Her laugh would more aptly be called a “saucy titter” I think. :)

Jess is more on the Sid James end of the spectrum.
