    John Walker Lindh

    Good point but I did not say all lawyers were of a bad class. The lawyers that defended OJ Simpson did a good job. Everyone said he was guilty the lawyers proved there was reasonable doubt. Only three people know the truth to that tragic story and unfortunately two of them are dead. Walker has...

    John Walker Lindh

    Sorry...anyone who has no pity for the suffering of his own countryman and would condone this type of action against innocent people does not deserve anyones pity.

    Looking for my Dad‘s Insignia

    I hope this helps. Also if you try a coin and stamp shop they usually have books of military insignia. You could probably get a good shot from one of those books. I‘ll keep surfing and see what I can find.

    Message received. I passed the request on to my brothers, reply should be unanimous. Also I went into the ‘Black Watch‘ site and found their WarDiary which gave me more of an insight into the action from July - August. I feel that whole Cean to Falaise action is a story that should be told. It...

My Dad was in the Clagary Highlanders from July - Aug 1944. I wanted to trace his steps in France as he was not one to talk of the war. I found a book called...
