#WW1 #SWW #CWGC #LWF Finishing my battlefield tour today. Tyne Cot yesterday, Menin Gate Last Post ceremony last night, stopping at Lille today to visit 21 BC aircrew, 14 RAAF, all died during a raid on Lille on 10th May 1944. And a reminder that France paid a heavy price in SWW also.

#PhotoFriday for #Histbookchat and Currently #Reading: Pacific LST by Stephen C. Stripe. After finishing Sledge's books, I decided to jump into some USCG action at Okinawa during the #SWW / #WW2 #booksky

This is the new edition which combines the sons recollections and anecdotes, with a summation of what was in the original book, and some additional materials the father wrote that have been lost until now. #Histbookchat #Booksky #SWW #WW2

South West Water pleads guilty to pollution charges South West Water has admitted to 18 charges of water pollution involving illegal discharges and failure to remedy at sewage sites in Devon and Cornwall, following an investigation by the Environment A...

Sentencing? In other words yet another slap on the wrist and a drop in the ocean (excuse the pun) fine 🤬.
