Final piece of the puzzle, thanks to a local authority. Off now to convince the #CWGC that a soldier who was classed as a deserter needs to be recognised. 20 years service. Awarded MM. Took his own life in 1941. NOT recognised by #CWGC. Needs to be changed and headstone erected.

Today we remember the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour. An act that would formally bring the United States into the Second World War, and set the Allied nations on a long and bloody path to victory.

Today may seem ordinary but, for me, it is unforgettable. It has been 25 years since I last saw this man. A soldier, a friend, a true gentleman and a real hero. A man I will never forget and am proud to call My Dad. #dads

Rant of the day! WHY, when a man was killed in action (an officer in this case) can take “up to a year” to get a copy of their service records??? Australia/Canada all available online in colour at the click of a button!! FFS. #MOD

Nijmegan bank robbery? And there was me thinking "Kelly's Heroes" was fictional!! Part of a document dealing with Discipline in 21 Army Group. Makes interesting reading. (WO 229/4). It appears that some of these crimes were actually carried out by Dutch civilians. Worthy of a bit more research.

Staff Sergeant Frederick Paice BEM. Serving with the RASC, he was awarded a BEM for his work as a short-hand notetaker, responsible for recording verbatim notes at a large number of court martial cases. Many reports we see today are thanks to the work of men & women like this. #MilitaryCrime
