Hi, I'm a 28 year old female student studying countryside management in England. I'm fascinated by all aspects of WW2 history, but mainly by the RAF/Commonwealth bomber war in Western Europe.
I'm looking forward to learning a few things about WW2.

My name is spidge and my interests are WW2 as well as History and Geography.
I am from Australia and like to represent Australia's activity in WW2, especially North Africa and the Pacific as well as the contribution of the RAAF and the RAN and their sailors in all theatres.
My present project is the cataloguing of all 10,835 RAAF headstones around the world so I am always looking for assistance from people in the 65 countries where they are buried.
If you can assist, please let me know.

"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.)
