I forgot to do this the last two days, so here goes.

30-8-1939 Operation Pied Piper, the evacuation of children from Britain's cities, begins.

31-8-1941 The first Arctic convoy, Codenamed 'Dervish', arrives in Archangel with crucial supplies including 15 Hurricane fighters. Over the next 4 years 40 convoys will deliver 13,000 tanks, 22,000 aircraft and 417,000 vehicles. Nearly 3,000 sailors will die on the 2,000 mile route.
