Sorry for the long delay, it was indeed "Cornwall Wood". -SC
Great quote, must go back and re-read Citizen Soldiers. I'm not a major Ambrose fan but I do like that book. -SC
Some notes are better than none, and I didn't think the notes in your book were particularly confusing. Any reason why P&S aren't fond of them? I...
I've got a soft spot for Panzer Commander by Von Luck as it was one of the first memoir-type accounts that I read. The sections on his postwar...
Evidently you don't buy videogames magazines (usually £5.99 or more these days), ;) I don't think it's too much to pay if it's just a one-off,...
You raise a good point, but I think to a seaman the fact that they were "airlanding" not "parachute" troops may not have made much difference,...
Okay, one further hint: If you visit this site today you will find a Churchill tank near where the action took place. -SC
Hmm, well those of you reading Gale must have been doing so with your eyes shut. See this quote from p.49 And from the 12th Devons war diary...
I've just started reading this, after having luckily picked it up for half-price a week ago. It's not the worst book on Normandy I've read, but it...
Nope. The title of the operation of which this battle was part has a celestial connection (if that's not too obscure a hint). -SC
Okay, I'll give it a go :shifty:: French Hill + Cornish + Wood -SC
I'd probably be in the Royal Artillery as a gunner, which one of my relatives was, as it's sort of safer than being in the PBI. You know, you've...
My number one used to be the theme from "Patton", but having finally got around to seeing "Glory" I'd say that has taken top place. Sends tingles...
Perhaps it's something to with 'enlivening' history? If you've read about a particular battle or campaign for a long time it can seem almost...
I seem to remember reading somewhere that a lot of the bombardment fell wide of the targets for fear of hitting the incoming landing craft, not...
Currently re-reading D'Este's Decision in Normandy for study purposes and Christopher Tyerman's God's War: A New History of the Crusades for...
A few faves: We're Gonna Hang Out The Washing On The Siegfried Line - Flanagan and Allen Kameraden auf See (Kriegsmarine)/Westerwald (Heer)...
I'm surprised that, aside from one little mention I found, that no-one has brought up "The Last Drop", although perhaps it's too terrible to think...
Currently watching Ken Burns' "The Civil War" and the first series of Dad's Army. Both are excellent. -SC
Ahh, but how do you know that it isn't a prequel mission? ;) -SC
