| 5. Captain Frank and some of the boys were exchanging old war stories.
| Art Bragg offered one about how his grandfather led a battalion against
| a German division during World War I. Through brilliant maneuvers he
| defeated them  and captured valuable territory.  After the battle he was
| presented with a sword bearing the inscription "To Captain Bragg for
| Bravery, Daring and  Leadership.  World War One. From the Men of
| Battalion 8."  Captain Frank looked at Art and said, "You really don't
| expect anyone to believe that yarn, do you?"  What's wrong with the
| story?
+-[RN=>All]
 
Unless he was present with the sword after World War II, it is doubtful it
would have been inscribed "World War I" as it was not yet refered to as
such at the time it happened.

+-[RN=>All]
 
An "hour and a half" and "90 minutes" are two ways of
describing the same
amount of time.
