[Dixielandjazz] Merntored? Mentored?

[Robert Smith]

Pat, you'll not get a medal if you say things like "an grumpy", it's "a 
grumpy", but you know that of course.

My grandfather got a medal in the first World War. He was about 40 years old 
and had cut hair before being enlisted. This meant that he was immediately 
appointed barber to some of the soldiers in the trenches. The only problem 
was that he himself had to walk 2 miles to get a haircut.

P.S. I saw that incident with barefooted Sandy Shaw

Kind Regards
