The poets caught me out in the first one... no idea at all.

 

[Tubby-Nuts2]

Roger, ..Snap! .. those four q's where a sod!

 

[housecarl]

This is a good book if you're that way inclined.

 

[Tubby-Nuts2]

Thanks, for the link! .. ... that would be some thoughtful bedtime reading! ... one at a time ! to decipher its content.

 

[housecarl]

Certainly send you to sleep.
Lots of public school jingoism interspersed with a touch of autoeroticism for good measure.

I have a book of WWI poetry, I'd better get it out and brush up a bit.

 

[Tubby-Nuts2]

Then!.. and with all due respect ! .. 'Bollocks to that'! I will stick with plain old 'History', thanks very much!.. Somehow the idea of poetry has just been side-lined!

8 out of 15 on the WWI quiz, 23 of 25 on the WWII quiz. I thought the WWI quiz might be easier for you Brits and Commonwealth types, particularly on the questions about authors and composers.

I missed 4, about the date of DeGaulle's speech, and 15, about the Overlord objective. I didn't think about the strategic objective, but the immediate, tactical objective.

Identifying the battleship was also a little tricky, because of the choice of sister ships. I had to do some reasoning on that one.

Prost!

[Tubby-Nuts2]

[Tubby-Nuts2]

Brad! .. You still did better than I did ??
