William Lumsden VC CB DSO and three bars - what a man!

I am pleased but not surprised. Twenty years ago the BBC was accused, and rightfully so, of a similar bias against Israel during the Second Intifada. Hopefully the General's assessment combined with the Asserson Report will lead to more objective reporting, but I have my doubts.

Great photo Norma - and interesting handbag too. Ted, like Tim Cook, is a humble but brilliant guy. Canadian military history is so much richer for his work. Thanks for sharing.

Terry Copp, CM, Professor Emeritus at Wilfrid Laurier University and a titan among Canadian military historians, was honoured today at a reception celebrating his appointment to the Order of Canada. Humble as always, he felt his inspired students were equally key to the honour.

OTD the 80th anniversary of the #Schmidtheim raid, B-25s from #RAF 180 Squadron attacked a "troop concentration"&gave "support to U.S. 1st Army front." My dad, Marcel Dennis, & his close friend Norm Shannon never forgot this trip. Gone now, but we remember them. #PerArduaAdAstra.

This statue at Spean Bridge is breathtaking. Thanks for sharing. We will remember them.

America has retreated from its own "fundamental values." Putin's goal has always been to dissasemble NATO He has nearly achieved his goal. NATO should not wait for Trump to announce U.S. is leaving the alliance IAW Article 13 of the Charter, but actively encourage them to do so.

If the U.S. military is given direct orders to seize Greenland—pull down another nation’s flag, and then claim the ground in the name of the United States—every senior commander has a moral obligation to refuse to accept or support such a command. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

Pilot does a shoutout for a 100-year-old vet who fought at Iwo Jima “We don’t have royalty in the United States, but we have something pretty close, and he’s sitting in row 1."

This will never be normal. Any society that forces women into this is evil!

As my wife and I leave Canada, we wanted to send our most heartfelt thanks to all those who turned out to offer their support on this, my first visit as Sovereign. It was the warmest of welcomes - and the fondest of returns to a land and a people we love. Until the next time,

Foch wanted to continue, but Haig agreed only after a 4 day pause. Attritional warfare had returned & the Canadian Corps was tasked "to maintain a steady pressure on the enemy." Over the next week it sustained 2,748 additional casualties, more men than it had lost on 9 August.

103-year-old James Fenton is preparing to travel from the Isle of Man, to the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire. The Burma veteran received a special invite to attend the national service in the UK, marking the 80th anniversary of VJ Day.
