Re: I'm NOT a great book reader - especially WWII nostalgia, but....
Each to his own, yogy.
You are most certainly better informed on events than I am. As said, I have read very little & can only say that I found the book full of the sort of information that I would have greatly valued in those days. I don't recall ever being briefed on tactics, enemy intent, armament, weak spots, effect of our guns, comparative performance or, in fact, anything that might have achieved better results &/or saved our skins. I'm only eternally grateful to the *** who put me out of action in the early days & spared me September '40 - which I would not have lived through. = Tim |

Hallo Tim,
Please excuse my ignorance but I don't know your surname ! Every time I see one of your posts I try without success to figure out who you are ! Please will you tell me ? Wishing you a happy and healthy 2010, Yours in anticipation, Martin Gleeson. |

Tim,
Thanks very much for that information. I don't feel so bad now ! I had been thinking of Tim as your first name. Regards, Martin. |

You're not the first to be confused.
The only name ever used - the other 3 totally wasted!! |
