Hello BILL

Nice to hear from you.
Unfortunately, this year i couldn't travel to any ceremonies. You know than " i learn" to work in security to the Normandy American Cemetery.
I the end of this year or begining of 2009, I will be definately there.
Of course i'm disappointed not to be in Fort William and Spean Bridge where the ashes of a good friend, Cliff WELSH ex: 45 rm will be scattered.

The 8 of november, i will met Paul MILLS the nephew of Reg. MILLS 3 cdo kia in merville battery, here in Merville. So, you see, i will be in contact too with commandos, and it will be a special day, Reg. MILLS has been missing in Merville Battery.

best wishes
