Goddam, if an old bastard like you can do it, I can too! I've got battledress, steel-shod boots and Pattern 37 web gear to grace the occasion as well.

Well, the "homecoming" - the last few hundred meters on the last day - is, actually.

Hanno, are you lumbering - er, walking - in this as well? I just took my ammunition boots in for new half-soles and toe-steels... my heel steels are in good shape. Might get hobnails as well. I'll see how my booties do walkies the four miles each way to and from work.

I guess we can't bring Lee Enfields on this, eh?

Hanno's photo shows how enthusiastic the Dutch can be. In Canada we only get crowds like that for the Gay Pride parade. :love:
