Bomber Losses

Hi Spidge,

Here's a link to a RAF Bomber History website.

There are a number of memorials photographed, including some I am researching. (I have also P.M'd you.)

www.BomberHistory.co.uk

Cheers

Owen

Yet to catalogue the latest 193 Aussies who died in the RAF.

"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:

Hi Spidge,

Did you find the images of the headstones at Reichwald, etc?

Cheers

Owen
