When the truth is untold - shit happens!
In 1917, Colonel George Patton was looking for a good location for a Tank Training School.
One of the places he visited and stayed in was a village called Bourg in France.
One day, Colonel Patton was approached by the village mayor who was in
tears…
The village mayor wanted to know why Patton had not told them about the fallen soldier that had been buried in village…
Patton was confused as he did not think there was any such casualty, so the mayor said he would take him to the grave.
When they arrived at the grave, Patton saw the mound of earth...
...with a ‘cross’ that bore the name “Abandoned Rear”
It was the place that the soldiers had been using to do their business in, a latrine pit.
Patton didn’t explain to the mayor the real identity of “Abandoned Rear”.
27 years later, during World War 2, when it was no longer Colonel Patton, but General Patton, he visited Bourg again and was welcomed and he discovered that the grave of “Abandoned Rear” was being tended and maintained by the villagers.
