I can't help but ...Thank you for that, Millsy.<br /><br />I can't help but think of the curious historical and literary resonances of the Gallipoli Campaign, on the coast opposite Troy; this was not lost on the young men who sailed there in April 1915. <br /><br />Rupert Brooke, the celebrated war poet and officer in the Royal Naval Division, died on 23 April 1915 on the Aegean island of Skyros, two days before the landings, but one of his last poems survives in fragmentary form;<br /><br />"They say Achilles in the darkness stirred,<br />And Hector, his old enemy,<br />Moved the great shades that were his limbs. They heard<br />More than Olympian thunder on the sea...<br /><br />"...And Priam and his fifty sons<br />Wake all amazed, and hear the guns,<br /> And shake for Troy again."Evan Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107866906860803155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1335839831734070531.post-57826259699014114042013-04-26T00:40:13.456+10:002013-04-26T00:40:13.456+10:00Here, here.Here, here.Michael Awdryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07049982879661559305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1335839831734070531.post-66815882231116019412013-04-25T07:13:27.739+10:002013-04-25T07:13:27.739+10:00Excellent post Millsy.
