Thanks for staying with me Guys and Dolls, now we move onto a display which was held in the grounds of the Royal Gunpower Mills, Waltham Abbey, Essex, England. These buildings date back before Jack Benny !! The big secret kept was that 30 or more US Veterans also attended, wow, that really was a bonus for those reenacters lucky enough to have been invited.
The 1st photo shows the Veterans joining in with SEHLG singing the cadance ' Jody', which we sing ( and sang by the 506th P.I.R. ) when marching . IF you can enlarge this photo take a look at the expressions on the faces of 506th troopers Ed Tipper and Jim Beam ( both 506th D-Day Veterans ). The years have rolled away. Ed is 2nd from the right and JIM is 6th from the right.
