I am retired, have a brilliant husband, 2 children and 4 grandchildren. We live in a little village in Northamptonshire and are currently trying to relocate to Devon to be nearer our daughter and her family.

I spend most of my spare time reading, cooking or gardening, have always enjoyed History but have learned more about WW2 in the last few months than in my previous too many years. My Dad died many years ago but the discovery of a shoe box of photos generated the burning desire to know where he was and what he might have experienced during the war.

I am very pleased to see some familiar names and sadly will be taking more than contributing. I can offer little but a thirst for knowledge.

Regards
CTNana
p.s. have got good sense of humour too!!

p.p.s. Don't know what you wish the launch of a new site but "Good Luck" anyway
Welcome CTNana.

Great to see you here. I am sure you will enjoy the trip!


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.)

What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts? Check out this site:
