Britsh Paras Yelled What as They Jumped???

[ozrocker]

One paratrooper who jumped at Arnhem actually had his pet hen named "Nell" with him. He had actually jumped with her a few times before, and let her free when approaching the ground, to allow her to flap about a bit.
Wonder what he yelled."Lets go Nellie"   
Anyway, Nell was killed at Arnhem.

Lt. Joseph Glover. And hen's name was Myrtle

"A Bridge Too Far" does a good recreation of the events including;
 Glover's Batman (Aide/Assistant)Scott, and his placing Myrtle's bag
 on the side of the trench and her death.

 Also, a very good book.
