    I wore my 'Vets' outfit ( RAMC) and I asked if I could march with the 'real Vets' as I was 11 years too late for 'D-Day' when I joined the Army in 1955 but the old 90 year olds said I could to pay tribute to those Comrades '"Who didn't make it" -- As we marched down the hill into town front the French Foreign Legion all jumped to attention -- they all had huge muscles and tattoos -- glad they were on 'Our Side' !!
