That's the best thing about buy French surplus rifles, never used and only dropped once.

Before the Beeb's coding took over the page there yesterday, I was trying to say that we should not be too quick to judge the French military of 1940. In fact many, probably most units fought hard and well - the German losses speak to that.

The performance of the BEF, particularly the high command, was nothing to crow about, and but for the French holding much of the Dunkirk perimeter, how many would have escaped?

And but for Churchill and the Channel the end would have been the same as that of France.
