I'll just say that France was the biggest backer of monetary reparations and leave it at that.

A report as to responsivness For the last few days (7 or so) any clicking of a mission brings up a blank screen with no refresh within a reasonable time 10 min +.  The same occurs when inventory is purchased. The mission is recorded eventually but it certainly affects the playability. I...

Except that if we are getting rid of the monarchy, the constitution wouldn't have validity since the constitution is dependant on the authority of the to be abolished monarchy.

so how does this discovery do anything for Canadian Sovereignty in the Arctic ? as in the headline and subhead

Still borne by their successor regiment; The Queen's Royal Lancers

The operation was part of Operation Angel Move; supposedly the British 52nd Division was also going to be part of it as well.

Just to add a Canadian note, the First Canadian Division was actually ordered to France in June 1940 after Dunkirk. Only part of it (primarily the Hasty Ps) actually got there before being ordered back to England.

Perhaps perpetuation rather than lineage should be invoked again. Edit for spelling

I wonder what the supply line situation would have been like without access to English channel ports.

What seem to be conveniently forgotten in all of this is the bombing of British Cities by the Luftwaffe. What are we supposed to think of the German bomber crews? -may be a little to close to this-

Possibly it is this "A letter from Lieut. Gen. Burgoyne to his constituents, upon his late resignation: with the correspondences between the secretaries of war and him, relative to his return to America" dated 1779 perhaps a 2nd printing ? Available as a pdf at...
