Rejected petition Place statue of Wolfgang and blue Mercedes van on empty plinth in Trafalgar sq
A German civilian called Wolfgang has provided tireless service to British and NATO armed forces by always being on hand in his Blue Mercedes van in the middle of various muddy exercise areas.
He provided hungry and tired soldiers with his famous currywurst und pommes with a welcome yellow handbag
More details
Ask any serving or ex serviceman (other genders are equally valid) what their fondest memory of an exercise in Northern Germany was and they will tell you if the Stirling service provided by Wolfgang.
He knew exactly where and when to turn up to raise flagging spirits amongst the troops.
Despite treacherous conditions which left numerous off road vehicles bogged to their axles, Wolfgang's blue Mercedes van never got stuck because those soldiers needed fed and watered
