    75th anniversary of that "Bridge too Far" ...

    I guess Charles' wardrobe contains a variety of uniforms
    of Regiments he was never in, in order to suit the occasion.
    This occasion being the Paras. Can't recall his regiment,
    but it wasn't Paras. Why not wear his own uniform ?

    Anzio, Market-Garden and the Dodecanese. Three British-led campaigns in WW2 that did not go off so well.

      Did you forget about Kasserine Pass ? Oh I forgot that was an American fiasco.

        A bad time. Then again, it was no Dunkirk.

          Actually, the Americans were improperly deployed under British command.

              Good idea when people are shooting at you.
