As mentioned in another thread, here are some pictures of our time in Normandy during the 65th anniversary celebrations. Some of you may be aware, we are members of a living history group called The garrison, we portray 489 Battery of 124th field regiment RA. We were staying in Ver Sur Mer at the invite of the commune with the purpose of living history displays relating to D Day. This is Gold Beach 0752hrs 6th June 2009, a moment for quiet contemplation As we turned this was washed up behind us 489 Battery landed on D Day +2 at Gold Beach, they went into action in a small Village called Trungy. We were invited by the Mayor of Trungy to display our guns and fire in Trungy on 8th June, a very poignant moment for us and a huge honour.

The photos don't seem to have downloaded, or is it just me? Are you using the Manage Attachments facility? This usually works if the file-size of the pictures is not too large. Adrian
No you;re right! it;s not you,there is a fault! I did give him a P/M letting him know that his picture never worked,maybe he just can;t work out the problem! What ever it is,it got my attenion! it;s a shame really.
Been busy and not had time to check the forum. The problem is that the pictures are on FB as my Flickr account has reached its monthly limit. Will see if i can sort it out later when i have more time.
In the beach photo where we are facing the camera I am second from left. Guy on far left: spot the mistake in his uniform...
His cap badge seems to be back to front. Should be Red/Black not Black/Red. I see the chap on the far right is wearing the 1940 pattern blouse - but you are wearing the earlier pattern with the fancy button covering and pleats
Yep, he did get some ribbing about it Yep, chappie is in 40 pattern. I prefer the early pattern, just think it looks smarter, and also the pic I have of grandad are with the early pattern. Must say, the GS cap is not my prefered head wear!
