On This Day In 1939 Britain 
France 
Australia 
and New Zealand 
declared war on Germany 
France Australia and New Zealand declared war on Germany And India, Tonga. Transjordan, Morocco.On This Day In 1939 Britain
Interestingly neither Australia or New Zealand did declare war on Germany - they were still British Dominions so Britains declaration automatically put us at war. Menzies did not declare war, he announced that we were "at war" with Germany. His actual words were "in consequence of a persistence by Germany in her invasion of Poland, Great Britain has declared war upon her and that, as a result, Australia is also at war".
I was not previously aware that Britain actually committed us to war, not the Australian government.

On This Day In 1877 Crazy Horse, Chief of the Sioux Nation, died aged 35,at Fort Robinson, Nebraska 
: I've got hundreds of icons and emojies on this phone but the only one I could find that had any relevance to North American Indians was the Bison, not really fitting for a great leader. I once read an article that was attributed to Chief Crazy Horse which I loved, I can't remember it all but the first line from memory was "Your laws were written on plates of stone by an angry God with a finger of fire, our laws were past down to our elders from our ancestors in dreams" if I can find the article I will post it in Quote Of The Day

On this day 8 years ago, a little boy dressed in a Spiderman costume, disappeared without a trace. Someone knows something. His name was William Tyrrell. Hold those close to you, closer.
I wish they could connect some of the clues together to give the parents some emotional relief.
