No

Our sad fate led some of us to the same country (that is, a third one).

Officer, I had no intentions to kill that thread, honest, promise. It just hit my keyboard by accident

Mr LowNSlow, you were the starter of this very good thread, shall we wait some more days until Beagles returns (and solves my riddle in 1min.) or shall we pronounce it dead tonight

No Sir, earlier than that

A thousand Thank yous! But I'm afraid I've vowed to help lower the population - or at least not to increase it!

Errr.... oh...

1950s?

(Lengthy pause while I leave the office to go home via a duty visit to the maternal abode - good job she didn't take the same vow as me!)

I'm going out tonight, but I'll try and have a look at this thread before going to bed.

Both our stories started a bit before that, and ended during WW2.

not exactly what I would call
too late to be successfull and suffered a similar fate.
I have the feeling that this thread has been on life support for a couple of days.
If no one has found sunday night, I'll post the answers and we should let it just fade away ...

Last "free" clue :

We ended up on the side we were supposed to fight in the beginning.
