  1. Harry's Last Stand

    Their Marriage Wasn’t an Easy Ride. But It Had Been Their Ride.
    JM Smith

    "Today would have been my parents’ 79th wedding anniversary. They lived together as man and wife for 51 years, and considering the generation they came from, it was a good stretch. Mum died from cancer when she was seventy-one, in 1999.

    Her last living act was to kiss my Dad before dying."

  6. Rheinland = Crimea
    Austria = Ukraine

    Putin is replaying the chain of events that led to World War 2.

    By avoiding smaller conflicts, the West is again emboldening their opponents to provoke a larger conflict.

    Our politicians are still not much different from Chamberlain. Strongly worded mostly.

    Their speeches have not convinced Putin that we would act decisively in the face further escalation.

    So an escalation will happen, until we do.

    A Sign Hung Around His Neck Which Read: Coward
    JM Smith

    "There are no working-class memoirs from Britain’s occupation force in Germany’s second-largest city, Hamburg, apart from my dad’s Love Among the Ruins. It’s a brilliant read about life observed from the lower ranks when hope was reborn from the ashes of war."
