    Indeed. We lost many times more dead, wounded and captured at Dieppe than we did at Juno. Learning from mistakes

          Nice catch, Drake! Thou knowest that of which thou speaketh.

            Good thread, KH. I'll add my thanks.

            My father arrived on D+1. Either Sword or Gold... I can't recall. His ship had been torpedoed and they had to beach her. Full of tank ammo. Somehow, the dive bombers, several of which scored hits, didn't set it off. Just think, if they had, you all would've been deprived of my wit & wisdom.

              Aren't you only slightly older than me? How old was your dad when he had you?

                  He said before that his dad was quote a lot older than the average parent when he was born.

                    51. Just. I was born 1 day after his b-day.

                    He's now 83.
