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?

![]() | Hi James, The ranks in question are: Leading Supply Assistant (L.S.A.) and Supply Petty Officer (SY. P.O.) I found the ratings here: Ranks, Badges and Pay in the Royal Navy in World War 2 They'd be under "Seamen and Specialist" and then "Supply" (about halfway down the page).
