Then the light-sensitive bomb-mine was nicknamed "The George". I am also writing about the 'C' class Magnetic mine which arrived earlier than the above Sammy and George, but didn't seem to have a nickname. I have researched far and wide but nothing found. Would some kind person let me know if they know of this, or know of a site I could access? Cheers, John, Sydney.
