Well done, Hugh.

Always nice to see an Englishman notch up a century.

Cheers

Owen

Well done Hugh!

Good to see the forum and the members agree with you!

Hope we can post some more MN & MM facts and stories of interest.

"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:

Thank you lads, I should post more I know that, and I will try a little harder to add some content on the Naval/Mercantile war.

Owen are you looking for a bite mate, I am a highland Scot and proud of it. Unfortunately the Mods have not got a national flag for me yet.

Regards and many thanks
Hugh
