Why is Gordon Cramer afraid of me?
There have been many times I would have liked to post a comment on his blog and particularly now after reading his latest where he justifies his position that Bob Wake was in fact referring to Gordon Strapps and Olive Neill in his diary entry, not Charles Gordon Chaloner Olive.
Cramer insists that when a personage such as Wakes writes up service personnel he is required by certain protocols to include their rank and CGC Olive, being the active State Commander of the Air Training Corps and uniformed (?) commander in the RAAF Reserve should under the afore-mentioned protocols be accorded the same privileges.
Wake had a few choices here :
CGC Olive St. Cdr. ATC
or ..
CGC Olive U Cdr RAAF Rsve.
or ..
CHC Olive St. Cdr. ATC. (uniformed) Cdr RAAF Rsve.
You see, what I would have liked to ask Cramer is which one, in his opinion, would have been the most likely Wake would have used if in fact he was writing about CGC Olive.
But I’m not able to do so because he’s blocked me from asking questions on his site.
