Britsh Paras Yelled What as They Jumped???
« on: November 21, 2011, 12:40:26 PM »
Just curious.  I cant seem to remember ever hearing any sound bits from British paras as they jumped through the door.

I have a hunch they were not politely saying "Keep calm and carry on", or "God Save the King" as they jumped, but who knows.   :D

Anyone?

"The British Parachute Regiment has traditionally used the unique battle-cry "Wahoo Mohammed!" when going into battle. Its use originates from World War II, 1942–1943, when men of the 1st Airborne Division were used for conventional combat for the first time in Tunisia, during the North African campaign."  Or so it says on Wikipedia.

I didnt know about the "Wahoo Muhammed!"   :lol  I wonder who thought that one up, and how they got everyone to go along with that?  I figured it'd be something to do with Cromwell, Wallace, or other such figure in British folk-lore/history.

They got it from the Arabs that would shout it to drive their donkeys into action.

walk into a pub in colchester at about 11 on a friday night, then insult the welsh very loudly. I'm pretty sure you could confirm it that way :aok

HAHAHAHA. No... If there is a country I have great respect for it's France. They are powerful and if you know your history they're far from cowardly men.

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"   :banana:
Anyway, Nell was killed at Arnhem.
