    Mabel also featured in one of the vessels (The Good Ship Venus) in that other thread, viz:

    "The captain's wife's name was Mabel ..." (followed by lines ending in able and table, as I recall )

    In WW1, trench raids were carried out by Oz and German troops.

    What is the Oz name for the "clubs" used in the raids?

    I don't think they were ever called Dad & Mum in the book - always Father & Mother.
