| Welcome Richard,
Glad to have you aboard.
We look forward to some interesting threads as personal family history involvement is what makes the forum interesting.
We also like to be involved with the personal who were not on the front line. Each of them an important link in the chain. Without their contribution, victory would not have been possible.
I am proud of Australia's contribution to peace as you certainly are to that of Canada. Whilst predominantly WW2 based, we introduced sections in the forum of "Pre WW2 & Post WW2 which allows discussion on "any war or battle".
Did you know that there was a Canadian unit in Australia during ww2? As I mentioned to you previously, there were three Canadians buried here during ww2. I will post their photos in another thread.
Cheers
Geoff

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."
(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)
