Thanks Norman. Enjoyed every minute of the history lessons. I often think will the next generation care about our history like we do?

There doesn't seem to be a lot of history taught in schools these days (here in Australi). My kids used to say that they studied Captain Cook's arrival repeatedly!!! I know that I did History up to A Level.

Our history lessons (in the late 1960's) were mostly English history; Kings & Queens, Civil War, and politics...The Corn Laws, and their Repeal!! YEUK!

But nothing of WWI or II, and not much of foreign histories..

But not bad, given the era...
