A Scot who was out there tells us of the difference he noticed between American and British troops. "A US Marines armoured column which went past had its vehicles nicknamed 'Lifetaker', 'Soul Stealer' and so on. A bunch of Black Watch squaddies watching them were a bit bemused. Their Warrior fighting vehicle had 'Big Hamish' stencilled on the side."
