Hi Pombok .................
My recent reading has been ;-
The Day the Devils Dropped In by
Neil Barber
it is the story of 9th Parachute Battalion exploits on the night before D-Day, Merville Battery to teh Chateau St Come.
An excellent book loadsa pic and real accounts.
ISBN 0 85052 924-7
another is for reference, bought from Ebay
German Tanks of WW2 in colour
BH
Seeing as that there may well be an interest in things military here, would it be possible to arrange get-togethers at various museums etc, Para Reg, Tank Museum in Bovington, RAF Museum in Hendon, Imperials War museums, Army museum in Chelsea etc ............. maybe a small braai nearby or a pub/museum lunch??
