    BEAR,
    Strange how so many Irishmen came over to "fight the good fight" on Britains behlaf after what they were about to go through to.

    Jim,
    VIMY Ridge.............an amazing place if you have never been before. Corners of trench systems concreted because they were less than 30 feet from the opposing Germanicon Concreted pill box. The throwing of grenades must have been a daily occurrence.
    A great monument to all those that died there and complimented by the Canadianicon school kids who learn and pass on to visitors what happened there, who are on a two year secondment................brilliant mate!

    'Tonight my men and I have been through hell and back again, but the look on your faces when we let you out of the hall - we'd do it all again tomorrow.' Major Chris Keeble's words to Goose Green villagers on 29th May 1982 - 2 PARA
