We had a FJR Leutnant attached to us when we were on an exercise in West Germany, 1989. That was my first real experience of the International Airborne Brotherhood. It might seem odd but, if it weren't for General Student our Airborne Forces might never have become. Respect to ALL our Brethren. Glad to know that our Brothers from the All American were there, too. Remember the Waal Crossing. "To the open foe, fight with chivalry. To the guerilla, extend no quarter"...

My husband is a "real ale" man (he refers to lager as gnat's piss...and we won't mention what he calls lager drinkers!), and he says it has to be a certain temperature to appreciate the fine taste of the beer. Yes, he certainly has backbone, having served in the Royal Welch Fusiliers and he's now retired from the Fire Service. Oh, and I have to say, his teeth are his own and they are pearly white, just like mine and all our family and friends, and we're British ;-)

Respect parachute army regiment.

When I was in Junior Para in 1967, Anthony Farrar-Hockley (Farrar the Para), came to review us. He was a Brigadier then.

As much as us and the paras had our banter about who was better, I will always respect how sexy the beret is. Keep marching, Everyman an emperor.

I was introduced to an old "legendary"ex para at work 20 yrs back, I'm an ex bootneck, when I asked him what aircraft he jumped back in his day, he stuttered and blurted "Lancasters" I never called him out in front of his adoring workmates because he wasn't worth the effort, but he knew that I knew he was full of crap! These guy's however were the real deal. Well done perc! But remember the Royal Marine Commandos exist because even the Para's need heroes!🥰🥰😂😂

Even if Market Garden was a defeat, it was a heroic one at that, and those Paratroopers fought tooth and nail for 9 days holding off German tanks...they made our country proud.
