Thanks for the replies.

Come Feb next year when the BBC WW2 site becomes a sealed Archive I shall, hopefully, be spending a bit more time on this site.

In the meantime if you have any stories to post on the BBC site, do it now.... after Jan 31st it will be too late

Ciao for now

Hi Ron,

Good to speak to you "In the Flesh"

I posted the link to your BBC story in July in Real Life Experiences.

Have a great Christmas & A Safe and Happy New Year

This name seemed familiar to me however my apologies if it has been posted before. I did notice Gerry Chester's (forum member) name on his friends page.
Quite an interesting and well set out personal story.

"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:
