it might get the middle of the prairies, but the middle of the continent was a place where pilots and crews trained: it’s why the US Navy still has their training center and why in WWII two ships were massively renovated to become aircraft carriers. the prairies are vital to the military and the navy is no exception. and thank Sgt.

Hi Kevin, a wonderful presentation as usual, thank you. I remember the Ross rifles well, a large number of ex-Canadian army surplus rifles entered the UK gun market in the early 90's, straight pull and incredibly accurate, or at least mine was. It was used every Sunday at either Whittington barracks or the Kingsbury army range along with my ex British Home Guard P14! Just the other day here in little Nelson, top of the South Island New Zealand, I had the pleasure to meet a very nice Welsh lady who also now lives locally and during our conversation told me she was the great, great grand daughter of a man called Jack Williams VC (29/9/1886- 7/3/1953). She told me a few of his exploits and how his tactics and methods of attack are still used in army training today. Having looked up this gentleman and his incredible military background plus his modern day recognition near Brynmwr I immediately though of a fellow Lichfeldian (wink wink) who could perhaps one day could turn this mans story into an episode of thehistorysquad.

[@thehistorysquad]

Haha a lovely comment Steve, thanks and yes, maybe one day.

Thanks for sharing your museum! It reminds me of Battery Randolph, a shore defense battery in Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii. When I was in elementary school, it was a favorite place to hang out, as the concrete bunkers had been converted into what amounted to an amazing "Army Surplus" store. WWII was only decades past, along with the Korean conflict, and Vietnam was just petering out. There were a couple of rusty, old tanks out front, open for kids to play inside the turrets and the driver's positions. Years later, My wife and I visited Waikiki again from the Mainland, and stopped in at Battery Randolph. While it saddened me to see that the tanks were gone, the museum was no longer a concrete maze of shelves full of musty, old canvas military gear and such, but rather had been converted into a military history museum, much like yours, with displays relevant to Hawai'i's history. There was even a beautiful display commemorating Medal of Honor holders. It was well worth the time taken out of a short vacation, and I highly recommend anyone visiting O'ahu (the island) drop in for a visit, as well as to the Bishop Museum, which places more emphasis on Hawai'i's native history and culture, including quite a few examples of armor and weapons from Hawaii and other Pacific Islander cultures. I'd love for you to see it, Kev, if you ever get the chance. =^[.]^=
