As for Mr Gustav, the GGFG 1 Coy (Ceremonial Guard) were conducting the Infantry portion of their 10 day cycle on the civvy land behind Uplands Airport in Ottawa. Thet left rucksacks and the 84mm in a field by the side of the road (too heavy, you know).
When they returned, much to their surprise, someone had absconded with the Carl Gustav... Apparently there was quite the investigation. A couple of months later, the GGFG recieved a fax sent by some jokers from another unit. It was a picture of someone in combats,
wearing a balaclava, holding a Carl G with a 'For Sale' sign on it. The picture had obviously been taken in a QM, so no further action was taken.
And that, kids, is how GGFG came to stand for Gustav Gone For Good.Alter Ego
