Top 100 threads on WW2 Talk

Gerard,

I have to say that James thread on castle Archdale is one of my favourites.

Regards
Tom

 

A couple of classics in my opinion..

WD Number Query (and excellent vehicle photographs).


and my all time favourite

Missouri to Ejpovice.Grandad's European Tour 1944-45.

Bod

 

Peter C's thread on what happened on this day in WW2 always struck me as being very good .

Andy's
Walking in the Footsteps of the British Expeditionary Force 2008 to 2009

There are so many good ones in there creating a short list would be a serious problem to be sure !

 

Must iclude Lofty's K2 Ambulance, Ron's return to Sicily and Paul Reed's Italian
trip(s)

 

Gerard,

I have to say that James thread on castle Archdale is one of my favourites.

Sometimes I find it quite uncanny that we agree on so many different topics Tom!

 

I have to say that as a newbie that has only come on board this year, there are so many threads that I haven't even come close to viewing yet.

However one thread does come to mind that I have taken notes from because of the huge amount of information given which will assist someone like me who hasn't been there before and intends on visiting, and that is Adam's thread "National Archives - Kew Tips". I've now sorted out what seat to sit in and what type of cup to order my coffee in
No seriously this is a good thread.

Cassino ..............The definitive thread on this subject started by Gerry Chester on 29/12/04.
Lots of good links for further reading.

One other I'd like to mention is Drew/Andy's thread describing the battle and massacre in wormhoudt. Been looking for this and just came across it. A worthy memorial to the incidents 70 years ago: The Battle and Massacre of Wormhout - 28th May 1940

 

That was the one I was searching for. Excellent thread.

 

Perhaps you could start one called useful for beginners! I love this sort of thread because I get to read all sorts of stuff I usually wouldnt see!

Beginner, Dee? You've got 329 posts!

 

My fav is (bit biased) the WW1 thread about the medal my mum dug up in Catford years ago and we tracked a living relative down in Wales-I think the first time I got rather emotional on here.

 

This one Andy ?

George Medal for Catford Hero

Ron

 

Hi Ron.

Nope this is it: Looking for BMBR. H. L. PARNELL Royal Field Artillery Relatives

Its a sticky in the WW1 section. I was wondering about her the other day actually for no real reason.

 

Andy

No wonder you chose that thread !

Brilliant and how in the hell did I miss that last time round ?..... probably because it was WW1 which is not my scene..

Definitely Top of the Tops.

Well done that man !!!

Ron

 

The internet is still relatively new and I hope that, in time, some of the jargon changes. I'm thinking of the word "thread" here, of course.

I'm sorry, but "He started some of the most important and influential threads of anyone in his generation" just doesn't sound right to me.

 

Tigers, Panthers etc


Nah, these are better

I just noticed that this one is posed because the engine isn't running. Who else can spot why this is obvious? (Hey, it's the internet, we're allowed to be nerdy and picky!)

The caption on Olive-drab,com reads:

Caterpillar D7 7M series tractor, operated by MSGT Knowles Freeman from Pensacola, FL, 829th Engineer Construction Company, while building an airport near Eye, England, 2 March 1943. Although not on this unit, the D7 7M tractors were typically fitted with a LeTourneau WCK-7 angledozer blade operated by the rear mounted power control unit.
