Misunderstood
The morale of the men of General Slim's Indian Mountain Artillery stationed on the border of India and Burma increased substantially when they heard that Lord Louis Mountbatten had been appointed as their Supreme Commander.
They considered it a great honour that the King-Emperor's own cousin (who they referred to as General-because they had no conception of the word 'Admiral') should be named Lord Mountain-Battery.
Their Officers chose discretely not to correct the misunderstanding
