sabre Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Last week, the liberation of Brussels was commemorated with a ceremony in front of the Belgian Brigade statue. The people of our BADGER group involved with the 25 pounders and the Belgian Brigade were asked to fire a salute in front of all the veterans, the representors of the Belgian king and the minister of defence, the ambassadors of Great Britain and Luxemburg some high rank officers of the Belgian army and lots of other officials. I have to say that the veterans were moved and very emotional seeing the display we made. This is somehow the highest achievement we can have. This is the movie http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=_7mQueAyxTI and here are some pictures. Our next outing is @ Bastogne in December were there wil be a salute in front of the American Ambassador at the opening of a statue. Next year on D-DAY we are opening a "Belgian Brigade" museum @ the Merville battery. I will keep you all informed on this. Piet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
