Gloria's real name


Did Bombadier Beaumont have a real first name? I can't remember hearing anyone call him anything but Gloria.

The eyes are open, the mouth moves, but Mr. Brain has long since departed, hasn't he, Perce?

I don't think GLORIA had a first name............I don't recall anyone calling me anything other than ,GUNNER, BOMBADIER, BEAUMONT or GLORIA.
Although WINDSOR once addressed me as "Bomber, my dear..............."

I've been wondering about that too... I had expected there would be a reference to his real first name in the "Gloria's Finest Hour" episode, where he gets hit on the head or something and becomes all tough and starts attacking the Japs "with his bare hands"...LOL! But I believe that even there, there is no reference... I couldn't even think of a first name for him, as "Gloria" suits him so well

Gloria is his real name. His parents wanted a girl. This is mentioned in a episode but i don't know which.
