#OnThisDay in 1942, the Allies began Operation Streamline Jane, to capture the rest of #Madagascar. Streamline Jane consisted of three linked operations, codenamed Stream, Line, and Jane.
The initial landings for all three operations were very successful. But Vichy resistance was stubborn, and it was November before the island was completely under Allied control.

I have another comic out, following two Canadians & a Polish pilot through the disastrous WW2 raid on Dieppe. I wrote a whole thing about the raid & why a disaster makes for great story fodder...

The start is particularly interesting, as Kevin Hymel talks about how the 1953 transcription of Patton's diaries diverged hugely from what Patton actually wrote.

T.E. Lawrence on those who wage war only from headquarters:
‘…how easy their lives were; the soft body and its unexhausted sinews helping the brain to concentrate upon an arm-chair work: whereas our brains and bodies lay down only for the stupor of an hour's sleep, in the flush of dawn and the flush of sunset, the two seasons of the day unwholesome for riding.’
