We are the Pilgrims, master; we shall go always a little further:
It may be beyond that last blue mountain barred with snow
Across that angry or that glimmering sea . . .

I already knew about some of that but it was still cool to read.

I keep forgetting that most of the people who come here had their attention spans trained by M-TV and Ren and Stimpy.

So here is a bite-sized excerpt of my earlier post that everyone said was too long lol.

The Commandos on D-Day

"On D-Day, 6 June, No 4 Commando landed on the Normandy beaches at Ouistreham Riva Bella, whilst the remainder of the Brigade, under the command of Lord Lovat proceeded to fight their way inland to link with the 6th Airborne Division, who had dropped to capture the bridges over the Caen Canal and the River Orne at Benouville.

No 4 Commando captured the town of Ouistreham before following on to join the rest of the Brigade at the bridges and to form a bridgehead with the 6th Airborne Division over the River Orne.

There during the following weeks, they successfully held the line, repulsing many German counter attacks, but unfortunately casualties were high.

On 10 June Commandant Phillippe Kieffer, of the French Commandos, was wounded and evacuated. Two days later Lord Lovat was seriously wounded and his place was taken by Lt Col Derek Mills-Roberts, CO of No 6 Commando, who had previously been the Second in Command of No 4.

On 19 August, No 4 Commando fought its way to the outskirts of Beuzeville and there on 26 August they were withdrawn from the fighting, having been continuously in action for a period of 82 days.

On the Contrary I found your post Informative...and Intreguing....I liked it ,and anyone saying that it was too long must be suffering from ADD or something,hell I have seen NUMEROUS posts thrice as long..

You got a problem with Ren and Stimpy?!

Whoever can't read that all the way through should take a couple of hundred pills of Ritalin.

That's an interesting bit of info you got there http://www.alliedassault.com/ubb/smile.gif

my only problem with Ren and Stimpy is I think I should sue him for stealy my own cat's personality when he came up with Stimpy!

Big heart, but not a brain in his head. Poor fella.

I actually love Ren and Stimpy. The old, original ones anyway.

There should be a high-budget, realistic film made about the situation you just described.

Im American, but I would love to see a movie about British Commandos.

I agree with Sandman. Even though I'm an American citizen I'd pay money to see a movie about the British or the Canadians. I mean, we did a movie on the Russians, why not one on our other allies?
