I twas a "reconaissance-in-force" to find out what invading a port would be like.
The biggest lost battle by the Allies IMO would be Crete simply because it would have been ideal as an air base to aid Malta hassling the Mediterranean convoys.
RIP Mr Jackson.
On another note, I had a bottle of Askell's Moonlight last night and it was very nice (the fact it has a Lizzie on the label is beside the point :lol: ).
