 | Mr Grinch - Hi Hi all, My first post and foray into the World of WW2. Ive contributed for a while on the British Medal Forum and also a little bit on the Great War Forum. My main hobby is medal collecting, mainly to WW1 and the Middlesex Regiment and also Special Constable's. Recently got interested in WW2 after trying to research family medals. One group to my Great father who was at Dunkirk in RASC and the other to my father in Law who was with to 70th Field Regiment, RA in North Africa and Italy. So, i thank all in the future that may help me. I hope to be a valuable contributor in the future. Best wishes James  |

  | Welcome aboard James, Nice to see more 'medal people' joining as my own knowledge is very woolly on that score. Cheers, Adam.

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?
