Thank you so much! Readers like you mean the world to me… I’m always uncovering so many new (to me) facts that I appreciate it when someone steps up with more information. I will get that change made over the weekend. Thank you!

But yours has been a particularly good read with a lot of facts that showed Reckless’ character and individuality.

One correction. Since I have a lot of information fresh on my mind I noticed you have the 115 pound recoilless gun firing 125 pound shells. I have read and heard tonight that the gun did weigh 115 pounds but each shell weighed 24 pounds. If she carried 5-shells that would come close to 125 pounds in total. Maybe that is where that number came from.
