	Battle of the Scheldt - www.canadiansoldiers.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The Battle of the Scheldt was fought in Oct 1944 between Allied forces from Canada, the United Kingdom, and Poland, and the German forces occupying territory in northern Belgium and the southwestern portion of The Netherlands during the North-West Europe campaign of the Second World War.
		After the failure to clear many of the Channel Ports in Sep 1944, the need for port facilities north of Normandy grew acute; Allied supply lines were moving farther and farther away from Normandy, where most of their supplies were landing in Europe, resulting in very long supply runs by truck to the Allied armies.
		The month-long battle had been a severe test for the Canadian Army, and coupled with casualties in the Battle of Normandy and the battles for the Channel Ports, exacerbated a demand for infantry reinforcements which would lead to a full blown crisis in Canada regarding conscription.

		Thus the first great catastrophe in the battle was caused, not by the power of the enemy, but by the clumsy manoeuvring of a friendly ship.
		In the circumstances, the capture of the German fleet, which according to the order of battle was to be the object aimed at, was no longer to be thought of; the only thing left to the Admiral was to endeavour to destroy as many of the enemy's ships as possible.
		Their faces did not wear that expression of rage and exasperation, which Heideck had seen in so many soldiers in the land battle at Lahore; rather, he observed a certain dull indifference, which could no longer be shaken by the horror of the situation.

		The Flushing Tribune was launched in February 1970 as a monthly, free distribution newspaper, and Ackerman “called everybody I knew who had kids.” He dispatched an army of Trib delivery kids and worked himself all weekend, every weekend that the paper came out.
		The Tribune’s first editorial complained about a problem affecting Flushing tenants who were being cheated out of interest owed to them on their rent deposits.
		Another editorial sarcastically congratulated the Transit Authority on the swiftness with which it put into effect the new 30 cent bus and subway fare, comparing that with the long delayed straphangers experience waiting for trains on the 7, E and F lines.

		American patriots, whether they support the war in Iraq or oppose it, should be outraged, if, for no other reason, than such stupid acts as putting the holy Koran down the toilet will make it harder to win the battle against Islamic extremism and will put more American lives at risk.
