manayunkman Posted October 5, 2012 Share #1 Posted October 5, 2012 Mr V's widow got my number from a mutual friend. This was the second time I had a patched out M42 jacket ( with flag ) pulled out from under me. At the last minute she held it back. But I did get these nice things and a very nice diary with bits of detail. Her husband was a Canadian citizen who joined the paratroopers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
