Site updated 20 December 2007
On 1 September, 1939, Nazi Germany shocked the world when it rained bombs over Poland. Two days later, on what came to be known as Black Sunday, Great Britain and France declared war on Germany. In the United States, President Roosevelt pledged that he would make "every effort" to keep America out of the war. Now, sixty years plus from the end of that wretched war, few remain who can accurately recall the way the war developed on a day-by-day basis, in what order alliances were formed, when summit meetings were held, invasions mounted and repelled, set-piece batties won or lost, how personalities met with success or failure, and the actual reasons why national moods ebbed and flowed. This site is dedicated to all those who fought, those who still have stories to tell, and those who never came home, who lie mute beneath rank upon rank of white marble markers and other unmarked places forever known but to their god.
For those who served...
"Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.

Honor Roll
New addition 17 December 2007
Winston Churchill once said of World War Two that it was not a war of princes or chieftains, but of peoples and causes; a war fought by unknown heroes. This section of the site is to acknowledge the unknown heroes that Churchill was referring to. And we don't stop at honouring our fallen heroes but those that fought for our freedoms and returned with their memories. We are a people of many nations who honour in our hearts our own Great Heroes. In this spirit, we remember and honour in our hearts the Allied heroes, war veterans and all the affected people, who valued freedom in their life above all else. To view, click on a letter below.
