Women with breast cancer who use alternative medicine instead of conventional therapy have survival rates no better than getting NO treatment at all.

But women who did BOTH also did worse.

@SenorGrumpy @SeaSpitfires @ModernThe85141 @Trexxl My grandfather wasn’t infantry - he was royal engineers.

He was in either the 2nd or 3rd wave on Sword beach (246 Field Company RE).

Does that mean he was ���support” and not invasion personnel? @SeaSpitfires thanks for fighting for our relatives

So - do you have to be white to be British? We have asked in the past.... answer is NO. Also clear that overt racists are a very small part of British society

@knoxy60 @sommecourt Thanks, my grandfather was in 246 - Dunkirk then D-Day (sword). They had a rough time

[Tom Palser @tompalser]

@knoxy60 @sommecourt Hi, sounds a familiar story. Which RE company do you mind me asking?

[Tom Palser @tompalser]

@HumphreyPlugg4 @almurray @SeaSpitfires Similar - He sent me copies of my grandad’s unit’s war diary from the landing and first week - it was incredibly kind of him. Really looking forward to the book

@JKMVidimo Thank-you!!

[Tom Palser @tompalser]

@SeaSpitfires Hi Stephen, out of curiosity, where / when were 246 Field Company RE? I need to re-read Bamps account but I thought he said they were on Sword in the first (ish) bit?

I know he slept in benouville churchyard with a half track after his initial vehicle was drowned on the landing

[Tom Palser @tompalser]

@SeaSpitfires Hope you’re ok Stephen, I remain incredibly grateful for you taking the time to reply about my grandfather and 246 RE a few months ago, it was very kind.

Really respect what you’re doing and looking forward to the book. Take care and Merry Christmas

Take a moment and nourish your soul by listening to Nobel laureate and Auschwitz survivor Elie Wiesel reflect on writing, sympathy, and history as a sacred trust.

If you're a health tech company deploying AI algorithms that are untested in vulnerable populations without validation, proper research and consent, SHAME ON YOU.

[Tom Palser @tompalser]

@SeaSpitfires Sappers on SWORD on D-Day! (Not 246 by any chance?). Really looking forward to reading it when it comes out Stephen. Good luck again with it.

Whole body CT scans after trauma detail the full injury load & improve coordination of on-going management.

Secondarily, they inform underlying health status (coronaries, CKD, sarcopenia) and are an unscheduled health screen.
