Although I am not old enough to remember WWII first hand, as a retired newspaperman, working first in the back room as a hot metal printer and then moving into the front as a copy editor and reporter, I can appreciate the work that went into keeping the troops informed.<br />I also appreciated that the names of everyone pictured were included in the cutlines. Excellent reporting.

Great work. <br /><br />ANd I'm glad that someone remembers why we say 'lest we forget', as opposed to the flagwaving 'mateship' celebration that this day has unfortunately become.Scott Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13243020164163596709noreply@blogger.com
