Will watch the video shortly, yet just wanted to point out that Mr. Felton is one of the few to acknowledge and highlight the actions of the women during war times. I'd personally like to see more content on women's roles during war time; not just military. E.g. The typists must of had a horrendous time writing such tragic news to families.

@thunderbird1921 Ah nice, thanks for sharing; the definition of 'unsung heroes'. My grandmother worked for Supermarine during WW2. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get first hand accounts of her experiences due to her failing cognitive capabilities, yet my mother told me about the stories she was told. It's incredible to think that such a vast amount of history is overlooked - not just from allied forces, but from the women around the world at that time. Working from the age of 15/16, going home to help look after the house, help tend to the land for crops, support the community...all whilst being bombed.

@thunderbird1921 Awesome - the information, not the flagrant disregard for the women's efforts - I'll do some researching. 👍
