Would anyone know why the Mine AP C3 was named Elsie?
The only thing that I can come up with is an old document which describes the development and description of the mine as it was brought in service. More specifically, it states that "this paper describes the groundburst type, non-metallic anti-personnel mine XC-3 commonly known as "Elsie", so the only thing that I can think of is Elsie is derived from "XC" (I know that it is far fetched but...)
Any ideas out there????
