Kenneth Lee - after being shot down on the 18th August 1940. We had a squadron commander who believed in the head-on attack. 'The next raid we go up to intercept, we will do a head-on attack,' he said. So he attacked an Me 110 head-on and I'm afraid Jerry got the better of him and all we found of him was his shirt!

| Yeah, war is hell! I don't have them at hand now, but I remember some magazines of the period with Guinness ads going like: "-I feel like a Guinness. -I wish you were!" and "My Goodness! My Guinness!"

| I've posted this one before but it remains a favourite.  A Big 4 Outfit of 4th Royal Northumberland Fusiliers crossing into Belgium on 10th May 1940. I'm only here for the beer too ! Rich

| The thing that I remember about beer in the states was three point two. I think they meant three parts alcohol and two parts water??? I stand to be corrected on that. OH YES! There was talk that our coffee was spiked with saltpeter? |
