WWII – The 75th Anniversary – Battle of Britain

13 September – On this day

The British bring heavy units of the Royal Navy nearer to the likely invasion area.

The battleships Nelson and Rodney (sister-ships) join the Hood at Rosyth (Scotland) and the Revenge is at Plymouth. There are, of course, strong cruiser and destroyer forces in relevant positions.

I am an ex-teacher having taught Ancient and Modern History, Social Science and Computing (weird combo ... hey) in the NSW (Australian) education system. I completed my degree at the same time as Maxx, but majored more in Modern History and Political Science before doing a Graduate Dip. Ed. and teaching. I have a strong interest in military history (all periods) but love reading about all aspects of history (you might call me a history junkie). I believe learning should be a life long pursuit and that the study of history is integral to the development of a mature, modern 'thinking' and 'questioning' society.
