Alexander McQueen - London boy RIP

I believe and still believe the Stalinist invasion of Poland was a disgrace and is a major blot on the history of the USSR....it was an appaling attack on the people of Poland...it included members of the Polish Communist party...a disgrace.

But i applaud your family....Monte Casino was a vicious killing match....its funny people only ever talk about Normandy and how they were such heroes but the guys in Italy, Bomber Command [now seen as murders] and the Merchant Navy are forgotten along with those who fought in the far east....some of mine were in Bomber Command and other Navy...my dad was a medic....in Normandy as and my father in law was in the RA in Normandy...but nothing like Monte Cassino....an uncle in the first war was in the merchant navy and on leave was given a white feather...he was sunk four times by German U-boats but survived. I take my hat to your uncle who flew in Lancs over Germany.....for my MA i did a dissertation on Bomber Command and dedicated it to the memory of the 55,000 who died.....so cheers to your family.

Sorry made a mistake it was Wellingtons in 305 Squadron and some of his friends flew in 303 Squadron out of Northolt.

Sorry to hear about the white feather and I hope history rectified that.

My father also sailed on Arctic convoys which from what my Mother told me was a death sentence.

Horrific times.
