#OTD 78 yrs ago my father, flying as a WAG on a B25 w/RAF #180Sqn, bombed "Mortars at Arnhem, Holland." There was "Heavy Flak over Dunkirk & target. One box [B25s was] attacked by 12 FW's 190." In the same raid two B25s from 98 Sqn were shot down by 190's. We will remember them.

Think heraldry in Canada and elsewhere in the Commonwealth can expect a return to the Tudor Crown.

Taff@Taff_Gillingham

@bermicourt @curatorian @TrenchTrotter @stockotrader The heraldic ‘King’s Crown’, initiated by Edward VII for use on badges, documents, buildings, etc, was the ‘Tudor Crown’.

Its distinctive curved top looks nothing like either of the Imperial State Crowns. 3

The Battle of Amiens also saw the arrival of many Canadian #conscripts - among them 23 year-old Private Dewart Keir, who was killed in action with the 19th Battalion CEF on 8 August 1918. We will remember them.

The Vimy Foundation 🍁 La Fondation Vimy@vimyfoundation

💥Characterised by Gen. Ludendorff as “the black day of the German Army”, the 1st day of the Battle of Amiens set the tone for the last 100 days of the #FWW. Amiens was an astounding success, the largest one of the war so far for the Allies.
