Thank you gents! The day saw several small gifts including an 'America goes to War' DVD, and Ambrose's book 'The Wild Blue' from the mother-in-law. My own parents gift was put towards buying Mark Bando's 'The Vanguard of the Crusade' his aclaimed book on the 101st Airborne in WW2 - which has just been republished. But best of all a bunch of Conte Gordons will take their place in my 'British Army' display!
"Hope you got the "real thing" that Wayne posted" - well Tom all I can say is that I have a toddler and after his 5.00pm tantrum/meltdown we cancelled plans to go out for dinner and went to bed at 8.30pm with mutual headaches. Today he took his pants off in church....
and it's John!
