DCLI

Recommended Posts

Clive,

 

Did you mean to say:

 

Alles ist gut, aber ich kann nicht dieses Forum verstehen, mein Deutscher bin nicht so gut. Viel Dank

 

???? :D

 

My German is a "little" better - not a lot though - I just refuse to use it as a matter of principle due to conditions at work!!! :D

Never mind German: this is DCLI. I once read a book about Normandy, where it related to communication problems between British and US forces.

 

An American unit was sent warning that 5 DCLI would be moving through their position that night. The Americans struggled with the term and came to the conclusion that five "Duck, Craft, Landing, Infantry" would be moving through their position and let it pass. They were apparently unprepared for an Infantry battalion moving through them.

 

Classic - you couldn't make it up.
