Simonstown Royal Navy Enlist Dog Just Nuisance

[twillick]

Able Seaman Just Nuisance is even remembered in my home province of Newfoundland, Canada. John A. Bromley, Royal Navy, left a record of his life and service. He was the only non-human to be given rank and a military ID card so he could travel on the train with fellow enlisted seamen.

He was much loved by his fellow navy mates who fed him pork rinds and beer.

He was given full military honors at his funeral and was greatly missed by those who knew him.

Nothing wrong with easy! Nice posting. Brought back memories of my national service, most of them good now encrusted with the patina of age. Thanks.

I served in the SAN and remember the legend of Just Nuisance very well. It is mildly unfortunate that the antropomorphic voice of the dog comes with an American accent, for surely, had he spoken, he would have had a Cape/ South African accent?

Hi I agree with you on the voice. I did it with a text to voice program because it was easy.

In 1989 Brigadiers Film Company produced a mini tv series for SABC 1.I enjoyed making this series and was cast as Lt Hardy in one episode.For any Just Nuisance fan I suggest you look for it!Good Luck and RIP JN.

It,was so good to hear the story o just nuisance again,I recall the fondness and affection, for this dog, held by the matelots stationed at snoeky, my late father, often related this story to us kids as we were growing up, I seem to remember my father telling of a time when he sat on a seat on the train in simonstown, wich just nuisance had apparently adopted as his own and was met with a disaproving stare by none other than "Himself".
