Dsrsia (#12060),
This is from my Post on "Hazing" (Page 114, #2275 this Thread):
This is the tale I was told, at Carlstrom Field (Florida): Our first British class of 42A met this treatment from 41L - or whatever. There was no particular animus against the British, they would have treated their own chaps just the same. Needless to say, a freeborn Briton would not put up with this; they set upon their tormentors in a body, prevailed and flung them and all their possessions into the camp swimming pool.
Now the authorities could hardly send the whole lot back to Canada - it would provoke a diplomatic incident - so the situation was accepted, "hazing" was suspended, and 42A followed 41L through all three Schools in peace (I don't know about harmony).
Can anyone please shed any more light on this (which presumably must have gone on at other USAAC bases ?) Thanks in anticipation.
No wiser now. Any corroboration ?
