What My War Was Like

A Marine in Viet Nam

by Alan Ross ...

In the Viet Nam war, the battle around the base camp of Khe Sanh was probably the most publicized story of the war. The story of Khe Sanh started a year before the Siege that lasted for 77 days. It started because the area in the far northwest part of South Vietnam got the attention of the NVA. They couldnt allow a base that was so close to the border of Laos, so close to the border of North Viet ... Read more

Ranji

Prince of Cricketers

by Alan Ross ...

Indian prince, Sussex and England cricketer, K.S. Ranjitsinhji was unique in many ways. W.G. Grace predicted that there would not be another batsman like 'Ranji' for a hundred years; arguably we are still waiting.
