| Tribunus Laticlavius | Just down the road we have the site of the Battle of Hasting 1066 were Harold and William fought it out to the finish. The battle took place in October 1066. Harold had defeated Vikings a few weeks before at the Battle of Stamford Bridge where he slaughtered Vikings and they would never be a major force again. Over 300 ships came over the seas to invade England and after the battle it took less than 30 ships to carry the survivors back home. Harold arrived for the Battle with his troops tired and many of them had been left behind and rather than wait for them to catch up he threw him self into the Battle which went on for most of the day. All though the Norman won the battle is was a close run thing and it the defeat boiled down to one mistake that some people in his army made by leaving their positions to pursue the enemy before he had been defeated.

| Tribunus Laticlavius | If you ever get the chance try Arnhem in late September, when all the ceremonies are taking place, to see the way the Dutch honour the Para's out there is very touching. Each school child is allocated a grave to tend for that year and then they hand it on to the next generation. |
