    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    My Aquascutum has the pale buttons too. Regarding color, it's actually so, that my wife, my son and I have different models of Aquascutums - and in three different colors. My sons tends to look slightly green-ish. With a single line of buttons - very straight. Nothing fancy. Believe it to be the...

    D-day 1944 - 2012

    I am afraid that the 9,387 buried, you mention, are "only" the americans at the US cemetery behind Omaha Beach. Then you have lots of British and Canadian cemeteries. And a couple of very huge german ones too. The German casualties were so immense and heavy, that some unknown were buried five...

    D-day 1944 - 2012

    After supper, we were having our coffee, my wife said to me: It makes you sad to think about, the amount of families who lost a son, a husband or a father on this very day - 68 years ago. Let us never forget them. No matter where they lived. On both sides.

    Scramble the Toy Soldiers

    As to what I've read, the Irvins were mostly used on the ground. Hanging around at dispersal. Sleeping in the early hours at dawn. And going to the pub - of course. I read somewhere that pilots used to "smuggle out" their flying boots and Irvins. Wearing them in London was a sure way to attract...
