Yes Captain but but i' have also the official versions !(may be 7 of

Fantastic kit-mixing, Thierry!

All the custom made accessories/badges really add something to these bashes!     

I was working on a house extension in London once (Thornton Health) and came across a few WWII wooden crates full of Sardine tins, Spam tins and glass jar foods, it was in the garage at the back of the house. Luckily I didn't open any, otherwise there would have been an outbreak of a 'World War Z' (zombie) virus!    

Awesome upload   

Great uploads Thierry & very respectful & well done.

Ahem...  Let's not forget the Canadians, eh?  

"14,000 Canadians stormed ashore on Juno Beach and were the only force to capture all their initial objectives that day, at a cost of 1000 casualties, of which 350 were fatal...

The Canadians landing on the Beaches were responsible for "Juno" in the centre of the British front.  Their Objectives:    
......Establish a beachhead along the five miles between Courseulles and St-Aubin-sur-Mer
......Push through the gap between Bayeux and Caen
......Penetrate to Carpiquet airfield some eleven miles inland.
 
Objectives of the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion:
......Cut the bridges on the Dives and Divette Rivers in Varaville and Robehomme.
......Protect the left flank of the 9th Parachute Battalion as it attacked the German artillery position in Merville.
......To take a strategic position at a crossroad in Le Mesnil."

agree as ive mentioned in the past some cousin of my mum was a Canadian para, she did have an old photo somewhere that's how I found out about it

Outstanding Figures you Have Thierry, awesome photos, great upload, superb outfits   

The Canadians and (French: Canadiens) in WWII certainly helped Britain on a large scale, without their help Britain would have gone under early on in the war.

The Canadians also played a major role in WWII air battles/raids...

I have a tale of my nans brother and his Canadian Wellington bomber buddies, perhaps I may post at a later time ( I still got the newspaper cutting/photo of him, Sergeant Read: RAF tail gunner).

Fabulous upload mate and with the centenary of the great war I had forgotten the importance of D Day This year. My mum's cousin was a para at Arnheim.
