I didn't get far beyond amo amas amat when the country called. And I didn't come across any Latin speaking girls during my efforts to defeat Hitler nor since.

Thanks to you and many others., this little war baby came out of World War II as a resident of a free nation. I take it you prefer Latin girls to Latin words?

But I do remember a Latin teacher named Mr. Currid who used to sit on the desk at the front of the class and swing his leg while talking. One day, the desk collapsed beneath him and a boy shouted out Curridibus sittibus on the deskiorum Deskiorum collapsibus Currid on the floorum.

So I had to be content with French and English. Our Latin Master strode around in his gown as if he was Julius Ceasar. At times he ranted and raved like Mussolini or Hitler. When it was hot and all the windows were open his ranting caused amusement and some disruption in nearby classrooms. If any boy ran along the verandah he would scream at the top of his voice: "Come back!!!!" and give him a good talking at the top of his voice. My friend sometimes went to the public library to do his Latin homework and looked at the answers. The next lesson one day the teacher said, very good and I know you haven't looked at the answers. He was terrified buut nothing came of it.

The cousin was stopped late on night returning to university in his motor car. He didn't have his documents with him. "Name?" asked the officer. "Julius Caesar." "Very funny , sir" etc. Eventually the officer was half-convinced and asked if he could give him the number of someone who could vouch for him. His arrest followed his reply: "The only person I can think of that I know would be likely still to be up is my cousin Augustus Caesar."

His arrest followed his reply: "The only person I can think of that I know would be likely still to be up is my cousin Augustus Caesar." I knew an RAF officer who loved to tell the tale of his friend from cadet days at Cranwell. The Air Commodore pulled up two cadets who were (horror of horrors!) walking along a road wearing civilian clothes, but no hats! That was how things were done in those days. The Air Commodore asked their names. One replied "Officer Cadet Robin Hood, Sir." The Air Commodore continued on his way, pulled up at the guardroom, and instructed the service police to keep an eye open for the two hatless cadets, and charge the tall fair one with dumb insolence. The following morning, the cadet was marched in on a charge: Officer Cadet Robin Hood you are charged with insolence to an Air Officer, in that you, at xx.xx hours on (date) you did give Air Commodore x a false identity by stating that your name is Robin Hood." The charge against Officer Cadet Robin Hood was duly dismissed.

Following a letter bomb addressed to the Premier, all visitors to the government buildings had to sign in and out on a visitors form. One day there was a robbery. As part of the investigation, they checked the signatories on the visitor's form. They found six "M. Mouse's" and about the same number of "D. Ducks"
