The loss of men with the fall of Singapore and the Philippines was a tragic waste. Both allied armies got themselves bottled-up with no place to go and no hope of relief. It has, of course, led to...

Bonjour à tous.
I just happened to look on here in order to impress someone by using RS’s smart quote by Montesquieu, and found myself reading some of the posts on this thread.
Regarding: the...

A very good study of these few days is the encounter-battle of Qatre Bras. It receives less attention than the events of the following day, but, as skirmishes go, it was quite a battle. The British...

In the 100m sprint, men look to go sub-10 seconds whereas women seek to sub-11 seconds. That roughly works out as having 91% the strength of men. Now we might argue that that should be reflected in...

If only I were that keen...

I saw the 'Doolittle Toast' on Forces TV, yesterday, and there were three of them. Perhaps it was a repeat from last year?

Which begs the question: did Hitler ever really intend to invade the UK?

You're sounding like just about every former, sniper-eyed serviceman I know, who cannot help pointing out mistakes in production. It's the critical eye which comes from years of training and...
