Being married to a Newfoundlander, I know this story.  My father-in-law told me all about Mr. Phillips and his WWII Newfoundland encounter.

I saw a tweet from the WWII museum but was unfamiliar with his story and hadn't looked into it yet.

Thanks for sharing, and Godspeed.

It's true!  But there are some pet peeves.  She says "up-and-commance" instead of "comeuppance".  She refuses to be corrected as it is perfectly acceptable Newfinese.  ???
