You're Top Poster: #2 | Sniper, How is the book going on Beamsville War Memorial/Ontario?
__________________ Spidge, ------------------------------------------------------- My Avatar is the memorial to the 22 Commonwealth Coastwatchers at the Temakin Cemetery on Betio (Tarawa Atoll) who were beheaded by the Japanese on 15th October 1942. http://www.dva.gov.au/media/publicat...mem_beito.html "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?

You're Top Poster: #17 | I have an interesting little book if anyone is looking for WWI or WWII listed Canadians in the air force. They have to have been deemed a "true Canadian hero" to get in the book. Interestingly it is written by Arthur Bishop, son of Billy Bishop of Canadian WWI fame. Probably was researching his Dad and kept on going! Will look up anyone as needed or I can post a list of all those in the book? |

You're Top Poster: #1  | Would that be The splendid hundred: The true story of Canadians who flew in the greatest air battle of World War II ? He himself served in 401 Squadron flying Spitfires
