My friend Francois falls in with us as a medic, but does not do the landings. The good part of that is he does a wonderful job taking pictures and he was also a great partner in volunteering to cook with me for the section. These pictures are all from Francois's camera. He also took some very nice short videos that I need to download and post as well.
Ready to go and liberate France!

Bayonet practice. Yes, sometimes, we really do practice stuff and things...
Saturday night, le souper was tinned corned beef and cabbage. Pretty good if I do say so myself.
I'll try to get more pictures sorted and put up soon. I'd like to get some of Francois' videos up as well, since he's got a couple of dandy shots of Mick piping us to and from the landing.
More anon.
Interesting to see the subtle variations in the Canadian "green" khaki battledress - one for the people who tell you "it's the wrong colour".

Neil, I very much agree with you on that. Even with mass produced industrial grade uniforms today, I still find subtle differences, particularly after exposure to sun and rain....and in our case...Lake Erie once in a while...
