The Site of the Month WAS the Original incarnation of
Green Leader Net
which was dedicated to an operation carried out by the
Rhodesian Armed Services of the UDI Era
callec Operation Gatling and more specifically the
the Raid Tactical Commander, known simply as 'Green Leader'.
Despite being to some a controversial decision, I chose this site for two
reasons:
Firstly because it was an extremely audacious military operation.
But primarily because it contained the transcript of one on the most powerful
sermons of modern times given by the (Late) Very Rev. John da Costa,
which can now be found here:
The Silence is Deafening

On November the 5th 1605 a solitary figure is
arrested in the cellars of Parliament House.
Although initially giving a false name, under torture he is found to be
Guy Fawkes one of thirteen involved in a plot to blow up Parliament.
This failed attempt to change the course of History
is commemorated each year in Britain under various names:
'Guy Fawkes Night', 'Bonfire Night',
or 'Fireworks Night' Traditionally Children collect
'a penny for the Guy' for an effigy of Guy Fawkes they
have made. which is then burnt on a Bonfire on the anniversary with an associated Firework Display!
So the Site of the Month is:
