On route to Arnhem, short detour to the Somme battlefield to visit, where on this day, 107 years ago, my great grandfather fought on this battlefield and was badly wounded, but survived. This cross marks the spot of the German front line. Lest we forget ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง #somme #france

This weekend, the Airborne brotherhood has come together to remember the sacrifices made during OP MARKET GARDEN. The fighting was brutal and saw lightly armed Airborne troops going up against German armour. Always outnumbered but never vanquished. #Readyforanything #Theparas

@MilitaryBanter I was with Tom that day he was killed in action. The man was a true leader who really did look after his boys, right up to the moment he was killed. Never forgotten ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐ŸŸฉ

The parents of little Rosie have informed me that she passed away at home yesterday morning. A little warrior to the very end. My thoughts and prayers are with her family at this terrible time. Thank you to everyone who donated and shared to help Rosie. @supportourparas

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. Matt, until we meet again my friend ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง #theparachuteregiment
