Afterwards there was the usual vin-d'honneur followed by a fantastic meal.

Old soldiers from HSF ?

Taken at Pegasus bridge this year! The Colonel was, I believe , involved in a plot against de Gaulle!

The French UNP- Union Nationale de Parachutists - Calvados Branch. Their HQ is situated in Caen. Colonel Chateau Jobert one of the most decorated French Paras code named - Conan, very well respected among the French Paras. He was in charge of the French contingent at Suez and did a brilliant job. He also served in the French SAS and still wears that badge (same as ours) Very old now but still sharp as a razor

These two were taken when Jan (Clout) was in 
Bahrain - he was duty drummer with 1 Para and on exercise in Abu Dhabi - now United Arab Emirates
