For England and St George, arguably the greatest amphibious raid of all time, the Raid on Zeebrugge 23rd April 1918. Mounted by two thousand men of the 4th Battalion Royal Marines and Royal Navy, 8 Victoria Crosses were awarded, including 2 #RoyalMarines

A new photo of Ian Fleming, taken in summer 1926 at an army crammer.

Definitely straight out of the '30' playbook!

We know that Marines Wilde, Swann & Cates were billeted at Mr & Mrs Albert Denny in Stanhope Street; Marine Spencer stayed with a Policeman and his family in Queen Street; Marine McQueen lived with 2 maiden sisters - the Davies sisters - maybe someone might remember them?

#HistoryBookChat had to be this one this week History Book Chat
Enjoying the new perspective on the landings.

#DDay80

I'm thinking of doing a series of DDay specials on June 6th, reminiscent of the long and original WW2TV livestream I did back in 2020.

The idea would be for me to host maybe 6 different shows over the course of the day.

Will there be enough people around to watch I wonder?

Hopefully will include this house's link to James Bond author Ian Fleming and his top secret commando unit...

The last of Ian Fleming 's commandos catches up on the latest on his ex-boss. Thank you Nicholas Shakespeare !
