Wild chicken, I remember it well. It was where we used to do our mortar gunnery trials. Great food, got to meet German soldiers... I didn't appreciate the blizzard during the winter of 75-76 though.

We went to war the day after Britain declared war in 1939. We were supporting our mates even though we were not personally threatened by Hitler.\n\nWhen the War came to the Pacific, then we knew what it was to fight for self preservation a bit more. Aussies that were already in Europe stayed there, but new recruits were sent to the tropics.\n\nApart from about 30 bombing raids onto the *northern towns and a couple of 2 man subs in Sydney harbour, Australia has never had battles on our own soil. \nThere was also a mass prison break by Japanese POWs in a country town (Cowra). The casualties were heavy for the Japanese that prefered death to surrender - the Bushido code. \n\nAustralian cities were used for R&R by US military, so we had our share of young boys getting lunch and the soldiers asking about the women in their house. \n"Hey, Mister. My dad got angry at my sister after you left last night. I heard them yelling. Could you give her back her virginity, please?"\n\nAustralians suffered in Japanese POW camps, and left a deep resentment there. My dad was in Singapore when it fell and worked on the Burma railway. When he came back to Australia, he was kept in hospital to beef him up a bit ... he was given 13 meals a day - the smallest being a teaspoon of something, the largest being 2 glasses of beer.\n\nBritain wanted greater commitment to Europe and made some painful decissions in Asia for us. That saw the aussie government draw further from UK.\n\nAfter WW II, many Europeans migrated to Australia. While many European cities were in rubble, Australia was mostly unscathed.\n\n*Northern towns include Darwin (26 times), and west to Broome - sorry i didn't make that clearer, Dave

Try http://www.kingsport.org  \nThey have a place to e-mail them.  Ask their historian.  If any one knows, you can bet on those guys.  Probably still have a local write up in the archives.

Leonidas and his Spartans have been a blazing example that will never dim throughout human history of men giving their lives in the name of civilisation. (But don't forget the Thespians and Locrians who fought and died in their rearguard.)\n     But my vote is for the few men of the British regiments that held their positions on Garrison hill during the battle of Kohima, in India, in April, 1944.  Their\npositions were overwhelmed continuously by waves of Japanese troops, the dead fell in piles on both sides of their hastily dug trenches, but by morning the\nhandful of troops of the Royal West Kents, Royal Berkshires, and Durham Light Infantry had killed thousands of determined Japanese, and the to that point\nunstoppable advance of the Japanese armies in Southeast Asia came to an end.\n     What I do not understand, efw, is how you can elsewhere state that war somehow has a positive evolutionary effect on man...in nearly every war with\nheavy casualties, and certainly in WWII where the loss of pilots and commandoes were so heavy, it seems a better argument to say that Europe, at least, \nwas bled dry of its finest men. The cowards and the weak stay home and have children, while brave men die as youths and have none.  In the British army the loss of young lieutenants and other junior officers was intense, and the japanese targeted any officer and/or squad leader, who were very capable men who came up from the ranks.  In the case of France, Britain, Russia, Yugoslavia, Poland the last two wars have greatly weakened the quality of the populations. \n     Mankind would do very well to have the offspring of Leonidas' 300 among us.\n     I hope you follow my argument. \n                          my regards.

Place: On the Charlestown Peninsula on the North side of Boston Harbour.\n\nCombatants: British troops of the Boston garrison against troops of the American Continental Army.\n\nGenerals: Major General Howe against General Artemas Ward and General Israel Putnam\n\nSize of the armies: 2,400 British troops against 1,500 Americans.\n\nUniforms, arms and equipment: The British grenadiers, light infantry and battalion company men wore red coats, the headgear of the companies, bearskin fronted mitre caps, tricorne hats and caps, and were armed with muskets and bayonets. The British had light guns and were supported by the heavy guns of the fleet. The Americans were armed with muskets or whatever firearms they could obtain, a few bayonets and some light guns.\n\nWinner: While the British drove the Americans from the Charlestown peninsula it was with heavy loss. The battle was at the time considered to be an American defeat but has since been lifted to the ranks of a heroic stands against forces of oppression.\nBritish Regiments: \nThe flank companies (grenadiers and light companies) of the 4th, 10th, 18th, 22nd, 23rd, 35th, 59th, 63rd and 65th.\n\n5th Foot later Northumberland Fusiliers and now the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers\n38th Foot later the South Staffordshire Regiment and now the Staffordshire Regiment\n43rd Foot later 1st Battalion, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry and now 1st Bn Royal Green Jackets.\n47th Foot later the North Lancashire Regiment and now the Queen’s Royal Lancashire Regiment\n52nd Foot later 2nd Battalion, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry and now 1st Bn Royal Green Jackets\nMarines: now the Royal Marines\n\nAccount: \nWith the outbreak of the war General Gage, the British commander in chief, found himself blockaded in Boston by the American Continental Army, occupying the hills to the West of the city. Gage resolved to seize the Charlestown peninsula across the harbour. Before he could act, on the night of 16th June 1775 around 1,500 American troops of the Massachusetts regiments and Putnam’s Connecticut regiment occupied Breed’s Hill and Bunker Hill on the peninsula. The American troops began to build a redoubt on Breed’s Hill. The fortification was complete by the morning, after a night of frenzied work. The presence of the Americans on the peninsula was observed by His Majesty’s Ship Lively which opened fire on them.\n\nPlans were hurriedly put in motion by the British to attack the Americans and drive them from their position. Major General Howe, one of the three generals sent from Britain to assist General Gage, was given the command. While the preparations were in train the Americans extended their fortifications from the redoubt to the sea shore, to prevent a flank attack. More American troops gathered on Bunker Hill but few of them could be persuaded to move to the forward positions on Breed’s Hill.\n\nI know i got here to late but i have an excuse. Iam from the UK. lol.\nWell done to Parrotjohn2001
