In what was to prove another of his many catastrophic blunders by Prime Minister Churchill
(1) The SURRENDER at Gallipolis after ordering his Battalion 'March towards the sound of gunfire'
[2] The SURRENDER on the beaches at Gallipolis in Turkey with great loss of life when he was First Lord of the Admiralty
[3] The SURRENDER on the beaches at Dunkirk in France from our hastily ill-equipped conscripped civilian army for Churchill's chance of political power after years in the wilderness and his speach afterwards to the Nation 'We will fight on the beaches we will fight in the hills we will never SURRENDER
[4]The SURRENDER on the beaches at Singapore of 5000 of our Troups well equipped to 2000 Japanese Troups ill-equipped exhausted after their long march down through Malaya and continually attacked by our Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders in the best traditions of our Highland Regiments with Bagpipes and Bayonets When the exhausted Japanese Troups finally arrived in Singapore it took them
3 days to surrender they thought a trap
[5]The SURRENDER on the beaches on 'D' Day that could have happened if the Americans had not overruled Churchill's orders on what beaches to land
[6]Prime Minister Churchill as a youth was rejected as a new entrant Midshipman in the Royal Navy as to not having command of all his facilities a bed medical complaint and a speech impediment
[7] His speech from the safety of The House of Commons to the Nations and the world at large 'The Royal Navy is ruled by rum sodomy and the lash'This was an outrage to the Officers Men and seamen boy's 200 on Repulse of which the author was one particulary as HMS Repulse was chosen for HM Royal Cruise
[8] The final blunder confirmed in the Official Records London records Prime Minister Churchill's statement to his son Randolph flinging his razor angerly into the shaving bowl said 'I will drag America into the war by having the Japanese attack us by sending the crippled Battleship HMS Prince of Wales after her battle with the Bismarck accompanied with HMS Repulse at that time to send both ships to the Gulf of Saigon to tempt the Japanese Fleet out and attack us so bringing Americs into the war'
The date 10th of December 1941 Japan was already at war on the 7th of December 1941
If the old Japanese Fleet had come out they would have stood little chance against Repulse's speed of 32 knts and 6 tons of high explosives landing on the target every minute from 6 i5" Guns in three Turrets stated by Naval Historians I can confirm this as having been Centre Sight-Setter of Repulse's A Turrets Gun House Crew winning the Home Fleet Competitions by blowing the target out of the water at 30 miles The Naval Historians it could have been Trafalar again however their Aircraft would have found us as they did on that fatal morning the 10 of December 1941 Escaping from Singapore to Australia the author served on HMS Vansittart a V&W Class Destroyer in the Battle of the Atlantic rising to the rank of Navigating Officer
