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: #4  | There are a number of multiple graves at the German Cannock Chase cemetery. The first image are the aircrews, each stone is an entire crew, or what was left of them after they were removed from the wreckage.  This image are the Zeppelin crews shot down in WW1. I can't recall if there were 4 or 5 of these stones. Again one stone per crew.  These are the 'ordinary' grave stones at Cannock. each one for 4 individuals, two names on the front, two on the back.  The above image shows only a fraction of the grave numbers. It is impossible to get even an eighth of the cemetery into one shot.
