@jwmuk @Tebogo427765551 @Lewisrendell1 And still do to this day!

@Tebogo427765551 @Lewisrendell1 Do you actually know anything about slavery? It wasn't due to Christianity or because of the "white man", slavery existed long before both interfered in Africa. Yes, that's right! Blacks enslaved blacks!

Should the burka be banned across the west?

@Greywolf1118 @MaxwellD_ @17ThankQ Thats a collection and half be a great visit would love that lot especially the historical stuff, let alone my own range thrown in, so miss my handguns when they got banned used to love a range day with friends.

@MaxwellD_ @17ThankQ I mean….if we’re being honest….there’s irony in a Brit wondering why Americans are “obsessed” with arming ourselves….

There is no perfect Baseme…………..

@rgpoulussen As important as Blood, strange what a brew can do for morale 😃

Pretty essential in the UK, I believe. (#OTD in 1942, North Africa. #WW2 #HISTORY)

@garyandglendah1 @rgpoulussen IIRC they were offered but refused by the US I believe they thought they would be more of a hinderance.

@rgpoulussen Hobarts funnies are cool! 😎 I wish the US would have used them. Especially at Omaha.

(18 July 1944, Normandy.) Crabs, Sherman tanks equipped with flails to detonate mines. Arguably the most successful of Hobart's Funnies. #WW2 #HISTORY

@darrengrimes Was on the side of the police from the out, armed police showed great restraint should have shot them.

@RadioGenoa Shame they can still breath, in many other countries they would have been shot for attacking police officers 😡😡😡😡

Why aren't Muslim criminals who broke a British policewoman's nose in jail?

@UKUpdates_co_uk Yes, stop faffing with scum and batter them.

@rgpoulussen Sat in that very car, helped move it when the displays were changed in the land warfare hall IWM Duxford.

#OTD in 1944, Caen area. Montgomery in his Humber staff car "Old Faithful". #WW2 #HISTORY

@GaryCla82665078 @rgpoulussen Tankie lid and DR lid very similar to each other, and para lid too, hard to see but thin handle so could be a sykes fairburn knife.

@rgpoulussen Trying to figure out what the guy in the middle has got tucked into his boot top, can't make out it he is wearing DR boots, unusual stud pattern in the soles.Helmet could be a DR helmet.

#OTD in 1944, Map Reference 927644. A Sherman tank from 29 Armoured Brigade. #WW2 #HISTORY

@beard9982 @rgpoulussen @JamieMctrusty Yep, bloody things 🤣🤣🤣 mk5 only had minor mods on it, headache inducing torture. youtu.be/eAfV-6OGSaw?fe…

@rgpoulussen @JamieMctrusty Look at that tin bin mk3/4. I had the same one in 1985 until the mk6 was issued

#OTD in 1944, Caen area, France. A soldier from 3 Infantry Division guarding two German soldiers. #WW2 #HISTORY

@rgpoulussen Correct, read Richard Freiherr von Rosens book, this is him 3 coy commander in nr 300, served up into the 80s hell of a career. facebook.com/panzerwaffe193…

Apparently, the Tiger II was first used by 503 Schwere Panzer-Abteilung in Normandy, #OTD in 1944. #WW2 #HISTORY

The books are worth their weight in gold, if your interested in Arnhem in 1944 you must read them.

Operating behind lines, #OTD in 1944, brave men from 1 SAS (operation Bulbasket) were captured and executed [x] just four days later. #WW2 #HISTORY

@rgpoulussen What they achieved with their numbers is the stuff of true legends and heroes, their courage and fortitude and above sacrifice will never be forgotten. Lest We Forget ……

@EmmaKennedy Your all as bad as each other trying carve each other up for point scoring, none of you deserve any respect until you actually do the peoples bidding for once.

@tempest_books Hawker Typhoon 1B car door for me.

Was the Sea Hawk the best-looking Hawker fighter ever?

@Ex_arv_sgt Don’t care how old this photo is,nothing can excuse this mess left behind if you can carry it there you can carry it home.

#OTD in 1944. One Cromwell (ARV, armoured recovery vehicle) salvaging another. #WW2 #HISTORY

@TaaiBenIk @ben_benjamin3 @rgpoulussen These are supplies not paras, different type of chute.

@ben_benjamin3 @rgpoulussen Paratroopers at that time were also dropped with an emergency reserve parachute, but for some reason it was not opened here by the paratrooper

@RishiSunak Care for veterans thats a laugh or lie not sure which mind, you should hang your head in shame, veterans are treated appallingly across the board.

The 80th anniversary of D-Day has been a profound moment to honour the brave men and women who put their lives on the line to protect our values, our freedom and our democracy. This anniversary should be about those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. The last thing I want is for the commemorations to be overshadowed by politics. I care deeply about veterans and have been honoured to represent the UK at a number of events in Portsmouth and France over the past two days and to meet those who fought so bravely. After the conclusion of the British event in Normandy, I returned back to the UK. On reflection, it was a mistake not to stay in France longer – and I apologise.
