It’s only about 5 miles from here & my parents arrive from the UK on the 14th Feb so we’re gonna go to the ceremony deal at 2.30 on the 16th. Step-dad is ex RN (HMS Protector, HMS Eagle & others). Mother lost her brother on HMS Penelope at Anzio (Feb 18th ’44) & an uncle the next day on the beachhead.
Gonna call on a couple of other local ex-pats & show the flag as it were…
