Lincoln Branch CVA held their Christmas Lunch today 11 Dec.

Well attended and we were pleased to welcome Stehpen Donnison and his family who joined us for the meal and toast to the CVA's future.

For those who are wondering what the flag is......

Its a Kriegsmarine battle flag; Kriegsmarine being the equivalent of our Royal Navy.

Wow We had a fantastic time Great company Great food.. i was stuffed. The old vets always hold me in awe . Pat and Ray suddenly said they wre going to get something out of this shopping bag My eyes were like saucers when they pulled a huge Nazi Naval flag and then Pat had this Gestapo cosh he took from a Gestapo HQ
Thanks to you John and everyone who made Hazel , Roy and Maureen so welcome . Hazel won a bottle of Teachers too in the raffle!

I`ll be on the look out for veterans with carrier bags in the future! I hope these veterans will consider attaching brown paper labels to these items detailing the full history.

Stephen, Ive seen a few of those signed unit flags before. I`ll bet your father put his name to a few Japanese meat ball flags.

Steve.

I bet he did . Someone brought a framed jap battleflag to the July unveiling. I went OMG when i saw it had been signed by commandos at Kangaw I was looking for my ol man
