You're Top Poster: #2   | Avro Shackleton In looking around for some Korean War info, I came across this marvellous piece of writing that, to be honest, only an RAF-type could write. Marvellous to read. http://users.bigpond.net.au/Shackleton/shakhist.html And the whole site: Avro Shackleton's Page - Coastal Command - Maritime Reconnaisance - Royal Air Force 1951-92

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?
