This is one of those war despatches.
Normandy Landings at ABCD tomorrow. Let us see which beach my boat strikes.
Hopefully, I would at least wade ashore. Then each man, his conscience and his weapon.
However, there was a Dunkirk today as well. Let us hope it turns out to be one of those days I can reflect upon in some days time. Amen. If not, such is life.
By the way, a lot of you want to know why these blank entries below. They are feelings I felt I would feel in the coming days. It is just that the precursors came one inspired night.
As things settle, or unsettle over the coming days, I would finish them up. Was waiting only for the details to emerge and complete the picture.
Tomorrow. Day Zero. I hear there is no time like that time. I would find out in another 12 hours.
P.S. Dunkirk marked the single greatest evacuation of the empire's troops in WWII. Losing out today is not pretty.
P.S. 2 It is however known that the troops of Dunkirk then led the assault of Normandy. They had to wait two years for their chance.
