Shamus O D Wade, Secretary of the Commonwealth Forces History Trust, expresses sadness at reading in the Society's newsletter "the dreary myth about Baden-Powell being called 'The Wolf That Never Sleeps'". He quotes from a conversation with Dr Hazel Carter of the School of Oriental and African Studies. "Impisi is pronounced, near enough. Impeesa'. In Ndebele the word means spotted hyena. Other meanings are: a vicious-looking person; a military blanket; acute diarrhoea; a spy or scout." Could be B-P was at various times regarded as all four, although that last one does have particular significance. |
