[/color][/size]Happy St George's Day to all our English BMs

It's is a pity that the English don't celebrate like the Irish in St Pats.

Also on 23rd April 1918 the Raid on Zeebrugge when the British Navy landed a large Marine attack force to seize the seaport.

Hope anyone celebrating has a good day!

St. George and St. Patrick had something in common... One vanquished the Dragon the other banished Snakes from Ireland... I don't believe a word of it myself, but there you go!

Saint George

Happy Staint George's Day.......Just finished reading Cockleshell Heroes about a group of Royal Marines who paddled up the Gironde into Bordeaux Harbour''Occupied France''WW2,and attached limpet mines to German cargo and warships,.When men were men and ties were ties.....go the booties...

Was there yesterday. Every year the same. Those old guys staying 2 days in Zeebrugge, commemorating St Georges day and the assault under Admiral Keyes (still a Admiral Keyes Square" and 2 monuments here.
Those guys can drink a lot.

Most of the veterans must be a fair age now.I was part of the honour guard company that went there in 1978 for their 60th Anniversary.They were a good bunch and great hosts.
