How about a thread in which we add dates of importance or significance in military history.
17/11/12 1887. Birthday of Bernard Law Montgomery, 1st Viscount Montgomery of Alamein , KG , GCB , DSO , PC. The man who rejuvenated the 8th Army, destroyed the myth of Rommel and planned operation Overlord. Personally brave, wounded so badly in WW1 a grave was dug for him. Vain, difficult to work with but inspirational to the men of the 8th army who under his leadership believed in their ability to drive Rommel and his Afrika Korp from North Africa .
