    I know I have mentioned it before on here, but of course these reminders of WW2 are in view..............I wonder how many "bunkers" that are still full of arms to provide covert operations had we been invaded are still out there unfound.
    As I understand it, only a few were trained and in the know of their location..........one has to assume there is a centrally held map somewhere with them all logged. I watched a programme the other night where one was shown with its entry through a false panelled brick wall.
    '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
