Very interesting....I have always been suspicious about the "surprise attack on Pearl Harbor".....the Crew cable is something I have not come across before.....I do know the USN had cracked the Jap naval code before PH and were always a jump ahead of the jap navy in a lot of their plans....I believe there will always be doubts about PH.......cheers TomBBut it's the 18th of November!!! Sorry, i forgot about the poor folks that are lagging behind... :rolleyes2:^&grin Here's my contribution to the thread and it's on the 17th of November!
1941 - Joseph C. Grew, U.S. ambassador to Japan, cabled the U.S. State Department that he had heard that Japan had prepared a plan to attempt a surprise attack at Pearl Harbor. The attack was "planned, in the event of trouble with the United States."

The Siege followed the murders of 2 Police Sergeants and a Police Constable in Houndsditch on 16th December 1910. My Grandfather lived in the London Borough of Hackney and was in the Metropolitan Police Special Constabulary, he witnessed the Siege but didn't talk about it
