My Maternal Grandfather was an Airframe Mechanic on Swordfish9RN). His Swordfish dropped Flares in the Raid on the Italian Fleet. He was on the Illustrious when she sank. Was in the Hanger Deck when a 500KG bomb went off. Most died. He lived. He went on to Malta and then back to England. He Met my Grandmother , who built airplanes, while on leave. My Great Grandfather fought for BEF in WWI and went AWOL to Australia. He returned and rejoined on the condition they drop the AWOL charges. My Paternal Grandfather and all his relatives were Merchant Marines(UK). My Step Grandfather was a Doctor and my Step Grandmother a Nurse(Royal Canadian Medical Corps). OF My Step Great Uncles , there were 4, 2 served. 1 was a Major in the Governor General Foot Guards and Died fighting near Caen during the Falaise battles, 14 days after landing. The other was a doctor who Died in Korea as a Colonel in the Royal Canadian Medical Corps. EDIT: Go here http://www.virtualmemorial.gc.ca for Information on deceased canadian Soldiers.' Some information is incorrect. It lists my Great Uncle as a Sherbrooke Fusilier. Getting them to fix it and adding Pictures I have. [ January 09, 2004, 01:43 PM: Message edited by: Dinsdale ]

I'll send Kozure By. He wanted to playtest. He's in my WWIIOnline squad. I'm just about to order my copy and so is a fellow sqaudmate. We both are looking forward to your work. Cheers!

Agreed. Also agree with Moon. Quality of Optics only benefits in the extremes. Low light, longest ranges etc. At normal Combat ranges 500-1000m , the benefit is marginal to nil.

Sholt: Kozure and I are in vRHC (TheBlack Watch) He is actually OIC. We are part of 1st Guards Brigade. Koz was CinC last year and I was BEF Army Command. We are both just regular players now. Cheers! [ December 12, 2003, 10:51 AM: Message edited by: Dinsdale ]
