EATURES CAMP BASTION SETS NEW RECORD Located northwest of Lashkar Gah, the capital of Afghanistan's Helmand Province, Camp Bastion is the main British military base in the region. Costing some Å1bn, it is also the largest British military base to have been constructed since the end of the Second World War. Though the base's airstrip may have been set up only three years ago on a former gravel dirt track - by just two men - the latest aircraft movements figures show that Camp Bastion Airfield is now the fifth-busiest UK-operated airport! THE BATTLE OF THE SOMME Released in August 1916, the film The Battle of the Somme has attracted tremendous attention ever since. Now that there are no veterans of this episode of the First World War alive, its importance as a historical record cannot be understated. We examine the making of this film and how, like the battle it portrayed, it was ground-breaking in so many ways. ""FIRST BLOOD TO THE AUXILIARIES"" In Edinburgh and the Lothians, and along the Fife shore, 16 October 1939 was not destined to be just another Monday. On this day, seventy years ago this month, the Luftwaffe struck at this part of the British Isles. It would be, as Brian Farish discovers, a day of firsts! BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS: TALES FROM THE D-DAY DODGERS Eighty-five year old Ivor Gaskill's index finger moves slowly down the list of names on the page and comes to a stop. ""There he is. Private Leslie Edwards, aged 19"", he says, his voice choked with emotion. ""He died right beside me"". Ivor was in Italy to commemorate the anniversary of a Second World War battle in which his best friend was killed. REGULARS DATAFILE During the building of the first ever tank, 'Little Willie', a revised set of War Office requirements led to the design of the Mk.I, and in effect the subsequent Mks. II and III, heavy tanks. Ten Things You Probably Didn't Know About ... THE GALLIPOLI CAMPAIGN. This Allied offensive of 1915 and 1916, writes Bill Gill, constitutes one of the most interesting, even controversial, operations of the First World War.
