Dear editor,
Were you a BRAT? There’s a reunion planned for Comox in September.
What is a BRAT? For many parents of unruly or mischievous children, they call them brats. But for children of military families, it is a term of endearment.
The acronym BRAT originated back in the 1800s when the British army sent troops to the colonies in Africa and India.
