Hi

Just wondering if anybody got any photos of the WHM Commando exhibit opened over commemoration weekend.?

Took a bunch of stuff up in the summer and donated..........but couldn't make it up this time.

Regards

John M

Pity there seems to be no photos around.

I am hoping it will build in the future into a fitting exhibition
