Well my dad was Scots, so there was an immediate threat from Germany right across the Channel.
His buddy had a fight with an officer who wouldn’t let him keep a foam pad they used to sleep on and that was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
Dad was working in a radio van
and someone came running and said get to the officers’ mess tent right now. His buddy had a tommy gun and lined up some officers to shoot them. Somehow dad talked him down and got the gun away from him. Then he had to go back to UK for a court martial and the guy ended up in mental hospital.
