MUST NEVER BE FORGOTTEN
".......the Battle of France is over. The Battle of Britain is about to begin, upon this battle depends the survival of Christian civilization,
upon it depends our own British life and the long continuity of our
institution and our Empire."
WINSTON CHURCHILL, JUNE 18 1940
The resilience of Churchill and the British people (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p009cmyn)
"We do not want to be remembered as heroes, we only ask to be remembered for what we did....that's all"
W/C Robert "Bob" Doe British 234 & 238 Squadrons Fighter Command
"I regard it as a privilege to fight for all those things that make life worth living - freedom, honour and fair play"
Pilot Officer William "Bill" Millington Australian 79 & 249 Squadrons Fighter Command

I was not born then, not until the war was over. Maybe I never would have been, or not born free, if not for those who fought, who died, and those too who kept the home fires burning, both then and to the end of the conflict.
To them all I am and ever will be
forever grateful, forever proud.
