Hello, as an update to the site we have posted two exciting new articles on subjects often not very well covered.
The first On the often unsung Royal Air Force's exile units covers the composition of the homeless Allied air units flying under the RAF's auspices in the second world war.
You can view the article here,
The second article is on the forgotten battles of the French and Libyan armies in the deserts of Northern Chad. This sideshow of the Cold War is often marginalized if it is remembered at all. Remember an old soldier never fades away if someone remebers them!
