David Ives Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 we did pegasus on the sunday morning as the other two days were taken up with memorials the first day after driving from the tunnel we stopped at the first cemetary where british and french soldiers died after dunkirk the second day was montongermy where i had the photo of myself and two other rmp one of which landed on d-day then to cain i think third day was bayoux for charles where i ended up pushing our standerd bearer and a officer told me to follow him and took us straight through the crowd to the rear of the standerds and in the afternoon to aramance where i managed to meet up with a few hmfv members before trying to keep our vetrans dry and safe fouth day was the american beaches after pegasus bridge where one of the vetrans told me he had jumped off the bridge for a dare for a packet of fags in the evening i took a few down to hornfleur where we were stayng and found a local bar where the locals respected the vets and we ended up having a singsong with a young lad playing the accordian the vets never paid for a beer all night yesterday we came home but all the vets want to do it again in 5 years time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Oh right ok David thanks for that as I was just going by the date on your pictures. Yes Sunday morning was lovely for the most part so explains the blue sky. That's great news about the veterans let's hope that it does happen again as I will be going back for sure!!!
