Alfred Wyles Medals WWII

UK: D-Day 81st Anniversary {6.6.1944-6.6.2025] – Remembering Private Alfred Wyles! (5.6.2025)

The infantry would assault the area from the periphery – and the Glider Troops would protect the centre (as if they had just dropped from the sky). As combat can be fluid and all kinds of emergencies can occur – Glider Troops would also train to assault the area from the periphery – and Infantry would defend the area from the centre. The reality on the ground might involve any contingency being used with flexibility being the key. I am told that this might explain how my grandfather came to possess an Airborne badge. When we were first researching this subject, die to the presence of this badge, we first thought Alfred Wyles had landed at Caen in a wooden Glider (this was in fact “D Company” of the 2nd Battalion [Professional] Ox & Bucks – but were later informed that in all likelihood (there is till a niggling doubt) my grandfather landed on Sword Beach as part of the supporting-infantry. Whatever the case, his official War Record is vague on this point.

Palestine Land Day - 2025

On Land Day – Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine: No Attempt to Displace Our People from Their Land Will Succeed! (30.3.2025)

On March 30, we proudly and reverently remember the immortal Land Day epic, when our people in the Negev, the Triangle, the Galilee, and all other areas of Palestine occupied in 1948 rose up on the land of their fathers and grandfathers, and confronted with their bare chests the Zionist machine of oppression, in defense of their land, dignity, and existence. With their blood, they drew the contours of the Palestinian identity, and affirmed that the land will remain Palestinian, and that the right will remain steadfast, no matter how great the challenges, and no matter how brutal and criminal this occupation is, and no matter how horrific the war of extermination waged throughout modern history.

CSA: Piles of Thread-Bare Confederates at Antietam [Sharpsburg] – Notes on Their Sacrifice! (31.1.2025)

The Union Army paid the farmer $1 per dead Confederate body and the farmer made $60 out of the deal. He dug a new well in a different place for the cost of $2 – making a wartime profit of $58. No one knows the names of these Confederate soldiers – and if it was not for a report being made by the Union soldiers concerned – no one would know about these men today. Of course, there was great bravery on both sides – but the spin placed on the war by the winners has skewed how the Confederacy is viewed today. These Confederate men (and boys) advanced into the Union fire with the utmost discipline and determination. They believed 100% in their cause – which was for the freedom of their individual countries (termed “States”). At the time, this war was not only about slavery – but has been made ONLY about slavery since 1865. Many believed the federalisation of the United States was a betrayal of the 1776 War of Independence – and nothing short of a great evil!

Russia: 81th Anniversary of the Liberation of Leningrad from Nazi German & Finnish Tyranny! (27.1.2025)

At the Piskaryovskoye Memorial Cemetery of St Petersburg (Leningrad), the President laid a wreath at the Motherland monument to honour the memory of the fallen Leningrad residents and defenders.

At least 420,000 civilians of Leningrad who died from starvation, cold, and disease, or in air-raids, as well as 70,000 soldiers are buried in the cemetery’s 186 communal graves and 6,000 individual military graves.

The memorial wall behind the Motherland monument carries the words by poet Olga Bergholz: “No one is forgotten, nothing is forgotten.”

Long Live the Communist Party of Palestine!

Gaza: Communist Party of Palestine Statement! (21.1.2025)

These military movements aim to strengthen American hegemony in the region at the expense of the peoples of the Arab region and their aspirations for freedom, independence and separation from imperialist control. If the agreement is implemented, our Palestinian people will find themselves facing a new entitlement in the West Bank, where they will have to defend their existence and rights against the policies of the occupation and the fascist, murderous settler gangs. The large and violent attack on Palestinian villages by these murderers is the greatest evidence of the upcoming challenges. The Palestinian masses in Gaza and the West Bank will remain in a permanent confrontation with the occupation to preserve their dignity and survival, which requires a unified Palestinian position against any form of normalization with the Zionist occupation and confronting its plans and attacks.

Archaeological Teams in Henan!

China: Longest Ancient City Road Discovered at 3,300-Year-Old “Yin” Capital Site! (27.12.2024)

The main roads discovered in this area are spaced 320 to 550 meters apart, while some intermediate-level roads are located about 100 meters apart. These roads are interconnected, showing clear evidence of intentional human planning, according to Niu.

Based on previous findings of archaeological excavations, it has been confirmed that the roads in the Shang capital city can be generally classified into three levels according to their width, or referred to as main roads, streets and alleys, Niu said.

Situated in Henan’s Anyang City, the 3,300-year-old Yin Ruins is the first documented late Shang Dynasty capital site in China, as confirmed by archaeological excavations and oracle bone inscriptions.
