rascal_2005 79 Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Hi guys. Just had my lunch early to go watch the home coming march of the Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment through Crawley Town centre. in 2009 a member of the regiment Pvt John Brackpool from crawley was shot dead in Char-e-Anjir, just outside Lashkar Gah, in Helmand province, Afghanistan, two days short of his 28th birthday. So as you can guess it was a little emotional in town today. his family were there to support aswell. everyone in the regiment has done at least 1 tour of afgan and are prepearing to fly to the falklands soon and then another tour of afgan next year. I went with my boss and a woman i work with whos son is a serving officer in a differant regiment who has done a tour of afgan and is currently flying home from exercise in kenya, so she really wanted to be there. there was a great turn out and i have the up most respect for the lads and lasses. hope you enjoy the video. john 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
