From the June 3, 2014 Daily Mail On Line "Diary of Second World War general who wrote off the week of D-Day landings by scribbling a line through it."
General Sir Miles Dempsey, known as "Bimbo" was second in command to British General Montgomery scribbled through Mon. June 5th thru Sunday June 11. For every day during the operations he marked in pencil "D+1," "D+2" and so forth.
It is up for auction along with other items, including letters from Gen. Eisenhower.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
