Soldiers from the Parachute regiment who jump on the anniversary of the Battle of Arnhem in honour of all their mates who died in the battle.

My own hero cousin Tom Smithson is the 2nd soldier from the right.  I am so proud of him and all of those lads who gave their lives so we could be free. 

                                                        God bless them all .

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 shall remember them.
