| Welcome Sgt Petts.
Glad to have you on board. You will have to put up with a couple of Aussies on here however we like to concentrate a bit more on those forgotten theatres like Burma. Forgotten branches like Coastal Command and Merchant Navy/Marine and those who were not in the forefront. Without these ground crews, mechanics, logistical support, everything would have ground to a halt.
How did you find us?
Look forward to your posts!
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.)
