Welcome to the forum!

I do apologise ....... Thanks for your feedback J
Welcome to Texas JayZed! To the forum and Texas! Mike Potts (also from England) is a close friend!
Many of us Gulf Coast, CSA, NRA, Texas types view Britain the same as California: "What stupidity are they going to pull next and then ask us to bail them out?"
Nothing personal, JayZed, tu connais.
My late Dad was assigned to British Military "Counter Intelligence" for 10 months in wartime London, and saw some astounding stuff, like the Government asking the US, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, etc. to send civilian weapons to help repel the anticipated NAZI invasion; then destroying those same weapons.
Bonjour

BTW, JayZed, we welcome you here and enjoy the exchanges, but please realize that much of what you "know" about our history is not true. Probably, that may apply to us and your history, too.

This thread is severely lacking in Martini-Henry 577-450ness.
LOL...superceed by the 303 which we used to shoot at high school in the CCF where we supposedly learnt how to be soldiers sailors and airmen!!
Airman you say?
Reading the book Bugles and a Tiger by J. Masters.
He is recounting his time at Sandhurst mid-1930’s.
page 43:
“ I learned that hyperbole was the normal coin of R.M.C. speech. Two grains of Sandhurst’s ubiquitous sand under the leaf of the backsight of my rifle caused me to be charged with having ‘a disgustingly filthy rifle’ on parade. I used to think a dirty soldier was a fellow with a stubbly chin, dirty fingernails, a cigarette hanging from his lip, and a generally raffish air of uncleanliness. I learned that I was wrong; the phrase meant a junior with a bit of fluff on his otherwise impeccable tunic. The other fellow, the one I had envisaged, was not a soldier at all. He was a member of the Royal Air Force or the criminal classes-the two terms were all but synonymous.”
Yes, and Merci !Bonjour LeVieux
You must be very proud of your Dad. They all endured so much. My farther was a paratrooper in the Polish army and got to England in the evacuation of Poland continuing to serve in the Polish army. I still have his officers uniform medals and sandbrowns. My wife's farther was a navigator in Lancaster bombers and we still have his mission flight logbook. only about 20 of his squadron of over sixty survived. I can't imagine the fear of taking off each time or jumping from a plane. Mind you your lot throughout Vietnam went through hell and back. We owe so much to so many. We also have an amazing eye whitness short book account written by her uncle from the war in Gallipoli..at Sulva Bay.He was only about 20 or so and a remarkable wordsmith.
