    Just thought I'd say hello, my name is Graham and I'm from London, England. I stumbled on this website a few days ago and have been reading away avidly especially at the 'From Sword to Bremen' thread by sapper. I don't have a military background myself but I have an avid interest in WWII so it will be great to discuss this period in our history with other like minded individuals. I read many books relating to WWII and have just started on Lloyd Clark's Arnhem, for some reason Operation Market Garden always seems to captivate me the most.

    Anyway great website and I look forward to chewing the fat with everyone.

Foumd the website while i was looking for information on Italy at war, and liked what i saw. i have always been a student of WW2, with my Granfather a coastwatcher in New Guinea, behind Japanese lines for a large part of the war. I hope i can contribute to the site, and help anyone in anyway.

    Hi, Glen. Welcome to the forum. Tell us more about your grandfather. I would suggest starting your own thread with his name in it.

    Welcome to the Forum, Glen. I would like to echo Lou's suggestion. Your grandfather's story would be a unique addition to the forum and, thus, very interesting. Coastwatchers played an important part in the war effort, too.
