You're Top Poster: #10   | Yvan Thank you for posting these. I have visited some of these cemetaries, mainly Great War ones such as the Newfoundland Memorial and Thiepval, and they are very moving. I think every school should send their children on a trip to these cemetaries. The alphabetical listing seems to stop at Tr, so the largest of them all, Tyne Cot with its 12000 graves, does not seem to be there. The German cemetaries are more sombre, spooky even, using darker granite and with a greater use of mass graves. Adrian |

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: #11 | Thanks Yvan. These are tremendous. My great Uncle was killed at Hamel and it's amazing to look across those fields from such a distance and distant time. Cheers Owen Last edited by Nostalgair; 26-08-2008 at 05:40 AM.. |
