Hello all,i have just returned from the celebrations in Ley Muy,our family go every year. My late grandfather served with the 2nd independent parachute brigade. i was very proud to be present when the 5 veterans were presented with their medals last week...have lots of photos but not sure if i can load them onto this site?

I also have a photo of the boys recieving a cheque towards the restoration fund at the welcome celebration lunch,please let me know if i can upload somehow?

This was a great little museum and I sincerely hope they can rebuild. I encourage everyone to help in whatever way possible.

Ade, I have always liked Mike Compton's BD. It has the most wonderful theatre made Pathfinder wing I have ever seen.

Hi Lisa, welcome to the forum!

Your photos would be very welcome! Please read "FAQ" at top right of the page for how to upload them. It is free and easy to do.

I knew Jim Chittenden and Peter Block from 1st Indep Para Platoon (Pathfinders) were being decorated but I did not realise another 3 Vets were. Great stuff!

Hi LRDG, it is a super blouse and I think it was not damaged in the flood.

Cheers, Ade.

I ask on a French Forum.

Sadly the Museum has not reopened. There have been problems with the local Council over who owned what...

Cheers, Ade.
