A REDACTED character has gone all modernist on me. If I wanted to stream of consiousness I'd wouldn't have to employ a copyeditor. Characters ha!

Two panels commemorating the contribution of Black American soldiers towards the liberation of the Netherlands in World War Two have been quietly removed from a cemetery in Limburg. It follows a complaint by right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission.
