May 28, 1940: Major Akbar Khan of the Royal Indian Army Service Corps marches at the head of 299 soldiers along the beach at Dunkirk--the only Indians in the BEF in France and the only ones at Dunkirk. These men of the Indian Army, carrying their disabled imam, find their way to the East Mole and embark for England in the dead of night. On reaching Dover, they borrowed brass trays and started playing Punjabi folk music, upon which even "many British spectators joined in the dance." Where had they come from and why were they in France? And what happened to them after that? Ghee Bowman reveals in full, for the first time, the story of these soldiers, from their arrival in France on December 26, 1939 to their return at war's end to an India on the verge of partition. It is one of the war's hidden stories that casts fresh light on Britain and its empire.

Excellent for removing hair from your feet—or wherever else you wish. It is very practical, and the battery lasts a good while. Highly recommended.

Lousy and not worth the money
Color: Purple
I bought this be a use it had an excellent rating and I guess I’ll be the first honest review. I was surprised to see this is no better than others. Lousy. NOT pain-free - still cut my skin. After charging all night, the battery depleted in one use. Absolutely HATE the button placement and kept accidentally hitting the bottom button. Had to be very mindful of how to hold the wand which made for some very awkward poses. Not a close shave at all and had to still go over all areas with a standard razor. Returning this.

Perfect compact size and works well!
Wow, this thing is really powerful and safe doesn’t cut you. It has different settings. One on the bottom one on the top. This is amazing. You seriously have to get it easy to carry in my purse. If I missed a spot while shaving in the bath, this is definitely my go to.

Love this protection plan
Quick and easy. My daughter's cracked her screen on her phone, as soon as it happened I went on the app, filed the claim. Ten minutes later I received the email with the shipping lable. The following day I dropped the phone off at ups and 4 hours later I received the digital gift card. Ive filed several claims since getting the protection plan and with four kids its definitelysomething im glad to have especially since i dont have to buy a protectionplan for each item now. I have filed claims for electric scooter the stoped working for no reason, my son's phone stopped charging, my oldest daughter cracked her phone screen, my son's video game controllers up and died and each time it was quick and easy and no fuss
