"Transmission dates for the six-part Discovery History series "War Digs With Harry Harry Harris" have been announced. They are:

On behalf of us Aussies and Kiwi members, I've done a search on the History channel to see if anything is coming up relating to these programs ............... alas. The world down here is still frozen over but with keeping a positive attitude, I'm sure we will reach the 'stone age' real soon. From then onwards, anything is possible although I wouldn't hold my breath for man landing on the moon .........
