would be fascinating and most appropriate if we
could actually make a real, personal connection with
the 22 May '44 parade.

What I do know, although with no time to investigate
having to do some organisation on the day and host
your rep from the Canadian High Commission; was we
had one vet there who did actually take part in the
parade and. . . . . . . . . . .
R. Said;
He landed in Normandy with the Canadians, being
attached to them!!!!!

One of our members has done an interview and we
also had a professional film crew there making a
record; they interviewed him too. We are hoping this
record may be available on DVD or in the fullness of
time I'll get a tape and burn a DVD myself.

I have a little stock of King's Stone stuff which I'll
put up from time to time.

Hi R.

Good stuff!!! I hope a DVD and tape become available. Never know who you're standing next to until they tell you... Amazing people. Amazing stories. Small world... even smaller since the Internet

I wonder if anyone has any PHOTOS OF THAT PARADE. Might spot our relatives marching in it? What an exciting thought!

I loved the photo with the memorial and flowers that you posted... and yes, the simple words that said it all.
