"The Battalion now went into reserve and we got down to some maintenance on our vehicles as mechanised warfare is hard on both men and equipment. We were always ready for a quick move though and sure enough Bombhead decided to move at 630 next morning. He always had a bit of theatre about him, so at 0625 out came his hunting horn on which he played the battalion call for move. His battalion replied with a series of impressions of yapping dogs. The officers did not know what to do and some suppressed a smiled. The upshot was that Bombhead never blew his horn again."

Bombhead is Lt. Col. Douglas Darling who commanded the 7/95 from 1942 after the Battle of Alamein.
