      . Gifts from the Naval Air Station museum.   Tansy and three of the ladies who helped knit some of the panels travelled over to America to help set up and arrange the first display of the Longest Yarn D-Day tribute, she brought me back several mementoes from the Air museum, one being this patriotic posters set of playing cards.        Norman D.

      Found this incredible photo of Parker actually wearing this White Uniform, with him is Marine Corps 1st Lieutenant Robert E. Cushman Jr, future Commandant of the United States Marine Corps 1972 1975, Cushman also was involved in the 1939 New York Worlds Fair, there was evidently a Detachment sent to the fair to act in some capacity such as providing demonstrations of military equipment and techniques and no doubt as a Recruiting vehicle . Don't know where or when this photo was taken, the civilian there is only IDed as a Mayor Burton, no Burton's were Mayors of either New York City or Honolulu then, did see a Mayor Harold H. Burton Mayor of Cleveland,, and when you look online it definitely  looks like him, though just what Parker and Cushman were doing in Cleveland Ohio??? LOL    Burton I might add was a decorated Infantry Officer in the 91st Division AEF in WWI and much later a Supreme Court Judge

      . American tour of the Longest Yarn knitted story of D-Day   At various times over the last eighteen months I have made mention of a group of International women who have crocheted and knitting eighty metres of panels depicting D-Day. It started life here in Normandy as an idea by local Englishwoman Tansy Forster and was displayed with great success at the main church in Carentan during the summer of the eightieth anniversary of D-Day 2024. Since then it toured various places in the UK,   It has now arrived in the USA and currently on display at the Wildwood Naval Air Station Museum New Jersey until the end of August and 1st of September moves to the Chapel of the four Chaplains, Philadelphia PA.                  Norman D.

      Parker as a Maj Gen  commanding the 5th Division on Iceland 1941-43. Parker wore the coat when in the 8th Field Artillery Hawaiian Division, he also as you'll see was the Liaison Officer for the 1939 World's Fair in Queens New York.   https://militaryhallofhonor.com/honoree-record.php?id=2932

      Much of what is stated strikes me as at worst revisionist or at best picking cherry's out of a pickle barrel. Picking cherry's would be the rotation of British troops from the frontline trenches towards the second and third lines and then back up to the first line. If all of that is true, then great if you were British, but what if you're serving the British from a colony from the empire? Did this hold true for them? WW1 is not in my immediate wheelhouse so I would like to read the opinions of others on if the video is factual or revision.   https://www.msn.com/en-us/video/peopleandplaces/10-big-myths-of-world-war-one/vi-AA1CiUmG?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=b595a8514ef24c0aa8c6b80448c9b957&ei=26
