We stuck our bayonets at each ends of the eggs
April 24, 2005
I am C28921 Pte T.N. Scudamore
(Serving with the Royal
Hamilton Light Infantry.)
I served in Holland starting at the Sheldt Astuary & on to
the city of Groningen when I was wounded for the second
time. On our way to Groningen we stopped at a small town
which was or looked like a farm area. The people were all
outside to meet us and the ladies gave us fresh eggs which I
hadn’t seen since I left Canada. We stuck our bayonets at
each ends of the eggs & sucked out the yolks. It was a real
pleasure. The first time I was wounded I was sent to a
British hospital in a City called ‘sHertogenbosch (I don’t
know if this spelling is correct) It was a real pleasure
seeing how happy the Dutch people were that the Germans had
been pushed out or captured. In all my service the wounds I
received at the outskirts at Groningen I was happy with the
Dutch people that the War was over. I want to thank the
Dutch people for the eggs which we enjoyed. I also have a
Dutch Medal for serving in this country.
Remain; T.N. Scudamore |
