My daughter Abbie has started to produce graphic designs for sale under the name 'Beyond Graphix' her first design (great for a tattoo) was created in honour of her cousin Marine Paul Warren who we lost in Afghanistan in 2010, whilst he was serving with Charlie (Spartan) Company of 40 Commando.
I knew she was talented but i am overwhelmed with pride in her skills and this fantastic piece of artwork

On the night of 24 April, Company H was occupying a defensive position when the enemy fanatically attacked, threatening to overrun the position. Cpl. Miyamura, a machine-gun squad leader, aware of the imminent danger to his men, unhesitatingly jumped from his shelter wielding his bayonet in close hand-to-hand combat, killing approximately 10 of the enemy. Returning to his position, he administered first aid to the wounded and directed their evacuation. He was eventually captured that night after killing 50 enemy combatants before being wounded and held in a North Korea prison camp for 28 months. After he was freed, His Medal of Honor was presented to him by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in October 1953 at the White House.

1918 Schweidnitz, Herr Rittmeister by James Field
Rittmeister, Manfred Freiherr von Richthofen, The Red Baron, was given one of only three Albatros CIX as his personal transport aircraft. He would have used it on his official trips to headquarters and other squadrons airfields and when going on vacation to his home town of Schweidnitz, Prussia, (now Świdnica, Poland)

1918 08 A Flight of Bluebirds by Russell Smith
Jasta 15 had one of the most unusual histories of the Jasta squadrons. After assuming command of JGII in March, 1918, Hptm Rudolph Berthold tried to have his old unit, Jasta 18, attached to JGII. After failing to do so, he then arranged to have all of Jasta 18’s flying personnel swapped out with those of Jasta 15, a unit already attached to JGII. With them, the former pilots of Jasta 18 brought their unit’s colors – blue fuselages and red noses. Pictured from front to back are: Ltn d R Hugo Schafer, 11 victories; Ltn d R Josef Veltjens, 35victories; Hptm Rudolph Berthold, 44 victories; Ltn Oliver von Beaulieu-Marconnay, 25 victories; Vzfw Gustav Klaudat, 6 victories.
