We went to school carrying our books in gas mask bags. During the summer we wore kaki shorts and I bet their was a glut of clothing originall...

Re: What's happened.

To-day we saw the ceremonies remembering the lives lost at the Dardanelles and its right that these heroes should be remembered. However nothing is said about the war crime committed against the Sandringham company who although they had surrended were executed. To-day an old geezer who worked as a c...
