| Message text Folks,
Make of this what you will. Blue Max is a great game and a lot of us enjoy playing games. I suspect that more than a few of us are also military historians who know what this game is based on.
Traditionally there was a ceasefire of sorts at Christmas. I'm not proposing that we stop playing on Christmas Day. I am proposing, however, that as individuals we each take a moment to remember someone who died during the 'Great' War.
My contribution follows. I hope a few others join in.
The Royal Flying Corps’ top ‘ace’, credited with 73 enemy aircraft destroyed, Irish man Major Edward ‘Mick’ Mannock, was killed in action near Lillers, France, on 26 July 1918. At thirty-one years of age, the recipient of the Victoria Cross (VC), the Distinguished Service Order (DSO) and the Military Cross (MC), he had been old for a fighter pilot.
