So I'll be the one at Les Landes throwing carrots in your direction! Pity we couldn't meet half way, but it be a right ***** keeping water out of the ignition! Just while we are jocking, lets remember that the Liberation was from five years of armed occupation. In the winter of 1944/45 both Island's civillian population was starving. Only the intervation of the International Red Cross, with the ship SS Vega, also the seventyth anniversary, saved many lives. Also British civillians from the Island's died in Concentration canps. Mash and I will argue tooth and nail, that's only proper! But the Commerations mean a lot to many people in the Islands, and keep it alive for the youngsters.
