The Battle of Saint Manvieu - 26 June 1944 | The left flank of Operation Epsom 

Welcome back !! you have been missed

OMG! I thought you were gone for good! I was so surprised to see a notice on your new video. I'm looking forward to seeing your new content. Hope it includes details on your most recent identifications! That's an awesome achievement that needs to be shared!! 🕵👏

G'day there Ace, Good to see you back in my feed...; I was starting to wonder if you'd given up on RU-vid for the hallowed halls of Academie...! Excellent to learn that you've now located the identities of 14 Unknown Soldiers' final resting places...! Very well done, I must say. Are you typical of your generation of Belgians ? Is prospecting for the identities of local Unknown Soldiers' Graves sort of a routine recreational hobby for teenagers, kinda thing - due to the proximity of such mysteries being pretty much everywhere about the landscape ; in the way that on the Coast everybody grows up Surfing & Boating, whereas inland people grow up riding Horses, or Motorbikes and shooting Rabbits, Foxes, Goats and Pigs for something to do, instead of playing Sport on the weekends ? Or are you the one rare local Remarkable Enthusiast, Forever surprising the Old Locals by being interested in stuff which they can barely recall hearing about....? I know I certainly found your Videos to be unusual, when I first found one under one of my early ANZAC Day uploads about 10 years back... Good to see you back in the feed. Keep on keeping on... Stay safe. ;-p Ciao ! PS, At about 03:50, You mentioned, "Captain Strachan..." pronouncing it phonetically..., as spelled. However that's one of the Weird Ancient (Gaelic, maybe...?) spellings which are supposed to be said very differently to "normal English".. "Strachan" is how the Scottish write the word, "Strawn..." (!). The only way to learn of it seems to be to try saying it wrong and then get corrected, it's certainly how I found out about it. In Victoria there's a town named Strachan, where an apparently famous Footrace is held every year, so getting pulled up on how not to say it, is something of a Rite of Passage for Sports Reporters in Oz. (!). Cheers, ;-p Ciao !

That was first rate. I'm so glad you are back. Hearing your proper pronunciations of European names and places is a treat. I eagerly await more :)

Awesome that you're back!

Thank you very much! Thank you for sticking around! I know it's been a long time

​@@TheAceDestroyerWelcome back!

I am happy to hear that, thank you!

Thank you Pascal! No, I just wanted to focus on my studies for a while. It's great to be able to make new videos again though.

I am very interested to know how many female graves you have come across. They exist but in all my time I have only ever seen one.

Thank you! It really means a lot! I know it's been a long time, so thank you for sticking around!

Thank you! Also, thank you for sticking around!

@@TheAceDestroyer I keep watching back episodes. So informative. Thank you.

Haha! I watched this months ago and commented. It was recommended again and I rewatched it but didn’t notice I had already seen this episode so I commented again. It’s tough getting old! Oh well, both comments are genuine.

Thank you for sticking around! I know it's been a while

"Greater love hath no man..."

Thanks! And thank you for sticking around so long!

Thank you very much! I try to bring balance into the videos, so I'm very pleased to see it shines through

Hello! Just a question: Who is Bernage? I read many books about Normandy (Yes, I know there are 100s!) but I do not remember him. Thank you!

​@arslongavitabrevis5136 If you open the description to this video, you will see a bibliography at the end and his book is mentioned there as well.

Have you seen my earlier replies? I ask because they don't appear in this thread.

Indeed. Thank you for sticking around!

🌱 Ja 🌿

Thanks! I think it is true. I'm currently working on some other videos, so you can expect some more soon.

@@TheAceDestroyer thank you 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

p.s. Again Please I think very highly of your video and only mention the above to try to help and not to trash or be over critical.

Hahaha, thanks! Well, I wanted to focus on my studies. It feels great to make new videos though!
