"On the 18th of April...

in '75 Hardly a man is now alive who remembers that famous day and year." Ahhh....that was 1775, not 1975. So, of course, the event was ..... Paul Revere's Ride. "One if by land, two if by sea..." relating to the hostilities between English troops and upstart Revolutionaries. April 18 is also Independence Day for Zimbabwe. That country earned its independence from Great Britain . It used to be called Southern Rhodesia. Glad I learned that; it happened after I left school, so I have been woefully ignorant of African states.
