Headlam is so bitchy in his letters, they're really a delight to read
My old Canadian overlord rather tries me with his ‘buck’ and eye wash [bullshit]. I don’t care about Colonials. They may be better and wiser than we, but they are very wearing. Their ways are not our ways. Their views are not our views. Their language is not our language. Their whole outlook upon life is different to ours. I suppose that it is of no use enlarging upon all this, for it is clear that we have got to put up with them and stroke them and say what fine fellows they are until the end of time. They respond to flattery and nothing else. They are like children in that way and the more you are ’all over them’, the happier they are. Old Mitchell is a good old fellow, but he is terribly Canadian.
Captain Cuthbert Headlam to his wife Beatrice, 13/10/16
Lt Col Charles Mitchell for reference.

"Canadian Army Women to Train As Anti-Aircraft Gun Operators," Toronto Star. April 30, 1943. Page 27. ---- BRITISH WOMEN TERRITORIALS OPERATE "A.A." GUNS ---- Ottawa, April 30 - (CP) - Members of the Canadian Women's Army Corps will be trained as "plotter telephonists" and will eventually take their place with men manning anti-aircraft artillery, defence headquarters has announced.
Women in Britiain's auxiliary territorial service - the British women's army - have been used on similar duty for some months. Some have helped operate London's guns during air raids.
Women selected must have grade 10 in education, have ability at map-reading and mathematics and possess a "keen interest" in artillery, the statement said.
