1945 a German 'wurfkorper' found on the American Third Army’s front: It's quite complete as it is. It is merely necessary to incline the rack in which the shell is packed in the direction in which it is to go and to touch off the propelling charge in the base, whereupon the whole thing rockets away to explode its 110 Ib. of H.E. upon contact at the target.

Although I am not a big Star Wars enthusiast, the design of the Quadjumper really caught my attention. It just happened that it comes in a Lego set 'Jakku Quadjumper 75178', so I bought one built for fun.
Later I realised that it has lots of potential for interesting modification, and would like to make it into Rey's very own personal craft. As we know Rey is a junk dealer so she has the knowledge to make her own upgrades on her craft. And the Quadjumper's power, maneuverability and ability allow it to turn into a potent weapon.
I have no intention to completely change the original design because it is very interesting already, so I only made some minor adjustments and modifications to enhance the craft:
1). The Quadjumper has 4 massive engines, so I used this advantage to modify the bottom half to be a separable craft. The upper half is a Gunship with a pair of swing wings. The bottom half is a fighter that looks similar to a pad racer, that performs in atmospheric flight, so that Finn can pilot it as well.
2). The rather dull "blow up" function for kids play was removed, so that there are more space available for modification.
3). The ugly belly of the lego craft was removed (this is the worst part of this lego design in my opinion), and replaced with retractable landing gears, that look similar to the gears in the actual design, so the craft looks cooler as it stands on the ground.
4). The upper engines were extended so that the craft doesn't look that flat in the front and rear (my personal preference). A pair of guns were added next to pilot seat, and extended the walls surrounding the pilot seat in order to eliminate the gap between it & the window in the original lego design.
5). Addition of a crew space for BB-8 on top of the craft, just like the X-wing. So that it gives a more Rey' s personal touch feel to the craft.
The War Memorials and Rolls of Honour I'm researching in Gloucestershire, and surrounding counties.
Only a few are currently available for access.
Please note:
When I have visited a village or town war memorial, the link below is to the photograph of that memorial.
Where I have not yet been able to visit a war memorial, then I have provided a link to the page of the Gloucestershire Book of Remembrance if I have been fortunate enough to find it on display.

Civil War BOW Quilt - Well here it is finally finished. I have machined quilted it on my Bernina 440 using a quilt as you go method. Firstly I put the 25 centre blocks together and added the flying geese border then quilted that square. Then I joined the outer rows of blocks and quilted each one then added them to the centre square, then I added the striped border and then quilted it. The finished quilt measures 85" x85". This has been an amazing journey, which I have throughly enjoyed, and am sad that it is over but am also relieved to have it finished so I can get a start on my ever growing UFO's
For members of the Royal Navy who died during the First and Second World War and have no known grave

The Portsmouth Naval Memorial, sometimes known as Southsea Naval Memorial, is a war memorial in Portsmouth, Hampshire, England, on Southsea Common beside Clarence Esplanade, between Clarence Pier and Southsea Castle. The memorial commemorates approximately 25,000 British and Commonwealth sailors who were lost in the World Wars, around 10,000 sailors in the First World War and 15,000 in the Second World War. The memorial features a central obelisk, with names of the dead on bronze plaques arranged around the memorial according to the year of death.
To commemorate sailors who had died at sea in the First World War and had no known grave, an Admiralty committee recommended building memorials at the three main naval ports in Great Britain: Chatham, Plymouth, and Portsmouth. Identical memorials at all three sites were designed by Sir Robert Lorimer, with sculpture by Henry Poole.

This memorial is in Paramus, NJ. I drive past this site daily in the summer. Every time I pass I think to myself this would make a good picture. This time I remembered my camera and I was able to capture the image. The sun was not fully down which created the nice dark blue sky. I hope you enjoy viewing this image.
The Guards Crimean War Memorial in Pall Mall, which commemorates the Allied victory in the Crimean War of 1853–6. Unveiled in 1861, it consisted of the statues of three Guardsmen, with a female figure referred to as Honour. Its sculptor was John Bell and it was cast in bronze from the cannons captured at the siege of Sevastopol. In 1914, the monument was moved northwards so that new statues of Florence Nightingale and Sidney Herbert (Secretary at War during the Crimean War) could be added. Curiously, the allegorical figure then became referred to as Victory. The Crimean War was fixed in the mind of the public by Tennyson’s 1854 poem ‘The Charge of the Light Brigade’, and now the region is sadly back in the news.

With the war destroying villages and half the province the king calls on his allies to come to his aid. From various spies the lego eagles soldiers learn of the black falcons main camp. A days journey leads them to the falcons camp. Black falcon archers call out, We are under attack!! Soldiers from both side charge at each other with a thunderous roar. The battle is quick sending the black falcons to fall back to higher ground to escape total defeat.
The class has dropped its books. The janitor’s
disturbed some wasps, broomed the nest
straight off the roof. It lies outside, exotic
as a fallen planet, a burst city of the poor;
its newsprint halls, its ashen, tiny rooms
all open to the air. The insects’ buzz
is low-key as a smart machine. They group,
regroup, in stacks and coils, advance
and cross like pulsing points on radar screens.
And though the boys have shaven heads
and football strips, and would, they swear,
enlist at once, given half a chance,
march down Owen’s darkening lanes
to join the lads and stuff the Boche --
they don’t rush out to pike the nest,
or lap the yard with grapeshot faces.
They watch the wasps through glass,
silently, abashed, the way we all watch war.

The Marma is a people living on the Hill Tracts of eastern Bangladesh, near the border with Myanmar. They are buddhist and they have Burmese origins. For these reasons there have been tensions between them and the Bangladeshi government, and now the area where they live is under the military control.
....Here we are, standing at a door step of peace.
A war in which difference between a soldier and a civilian were nonexistent is now over.
This day, the 25th of September 2023 will be remembered as begging of a new age of humanity......
