Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

Hey mate! First of all greetings to Cyprus!!! You had an outstanding trip there!!! It can't get any better to plan a trip at an intresting place that is related with our hobby and above all have a specialist to guide you and share the stories of each location with you!!! A trip to remember for a life!!! I was most amazed by the look of the woods!!!! I was almost able to see zimmerit covered Tigers moving among the trees with camouflaged grenadiers around and a black uniformed tank commander looking with his binoculars from the roof opening!!! Very vivid photographs!!!! And of course perfect souvenirs from your trip both self found and bought from the Antique shop!!! Don_Kihotis7 you are a very lucky man and Paul E you are a very kind man!
