Did you Know that Saint George died on 23rd April in the year 303AD. He was a military tribune in the the Roman army under Emperor Nicomedia. He was later raised to the rank of Legatus. He died by decapitation in the year 303.
Saint George is the patron saint of England. His cross forms the national flag of England, and features within the Union Flag of the United Kingdom, and other national flags containing the Union Flag, such as those of Australia and New Zealand. By the 14th century, the saint had been declared both the patron saint and the protector of the royal family.[49]

Tall people tend to enjoy leadership roles, which leads to better salary, prettier wives, better fed and watered children, etc.

But I have noticed many of my friends who are patently tall suffer a fair many physical maladies during their lives and they seem to kark it sooner. I guess it could be worse .... being male polynesian doesn't like the over fifties years it seems.

After the death of Hatshepsut and Thutmosis III's later rise to pharaoh of the kingdom, he created the largest empire Egypt had ever seen; no fewer than 17 campaigns were conducted and he conquered from Niya in North Syria to the Fourth Cataract of the Nile in Nubia.

Did you know that Joseph Goebbels and his wife Magda committed suicide on May 1st 1945. They murdered their six children. They died in
Berlin, Nazi Germany


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Goebbels

Paul Joseph Goebbels (German: [ˈpaʊ̯l ˈjoːzəf ˈɡœbl̩s]; [1] 29 October 1897 – 1 May 1945) was a German Nazi politician and Reich Minister of Propaganda of Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945. He was one of Adolf Hitler's close associates and most devoted followers, and was known for his skills in public speaking and his deep, virulent antisemitism, which was evident in his publicly voiced views. He advocated progressively harsher discrimination, including the extermination of the Jews in the Holocaust.

Johanna Maria Magdalena "Magda" Goebbels (née Ritschel; 11 November 1901 – 1 May 1945) was the wife of Nazi Germany's Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels. A prominent member of the Nazi Party, she was a close ally, companion and political supporter of Adolf Hitler. Some historians refer to her as the unofficial "First Lady" of Nazi Germany, while others give that "title" to Emmy Göring.[1][2]
 
Lest we forget

The phrase "Lest we forget" is commonly used in war remembrance services and commemorative occasions in English speaking countries, in particular Remembrance Day and ANZAC Day.[1] Before the term was used in reference to soldiers and war, it was first used in an 1897 Christian poem written by Rudyard Kipling called "Recessional". The phrase occurs 8 times; and is repeated at the end of the first 4 stanzas in order to add particular emphasis regarding the dangers of failing to remember.


'God of our fathers, known of old,
Lord of our far-flung battle line,
Beneath whose awful hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine—
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget—lest we forget!'

The concept of 'being careful not to forget' was already present in the Bible (Deuteronomy 4:7-9):


7"For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the Lord our God is in all things that we call upon him for? 8And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?
9Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy son's sons …."[2]

This Biblical quote is probably a direct source for the term in the 1897 poem.[according to whom?] This is consistent with the main theme of the "Recessional" poem – that if a nation forgets the true source of its success (the "Lord God of Hosts" and His "ancient sacrifice" of Christ) – its military or material possessions will be insufficient in times of war.[citation needed]


The poem "Recessional" also appears as a common hymn at war remembrance services; and the phrase "Lest We Forget" can hence be sung.[3]


The phrase later passed into common usage after World War I across the British Commonwealth, especially becoming linked with Remembrance Day observations; it became a plea not to forget past sacrifices, and was often found as the only wording on war memorials,[4] or used as an epitaph.

The Queen of England is protected by the Coldstream Guards. Did you know that they were once led by Captain General George Monck who supported King Charles 1st and switched sides to support Cromwell and then fought against the Royalists. When King Charles 2nd was reinstated after the death of Cromwell they laid down their arms, announced their elegance to the King, and promptly picked them all up again. The Coldstream Guards name came from a town in Scotland - the name was adopted after the death of Monck in 1670.
