I took umbrage at the almost casual total editing-out of Australia's contribution to the Pacific war, small though that contribution might have been.

Well Targan all I can say is that I am very sorry for causing you offence as that was not my intension. I do know a good deal about Australia's contribution to the Pacific War and I know it was far from minor. In my own defence I posted my reply to Legbreaker without reviewing it properly, and part of my reply could have been better thought out.

I don't think anybody on this board wants to offend another member, so I think that I would care if you are offended.
