Royal British Legion - Paris France

This evening we are in Bayeux Cathedral, Normandy, on the eve of the 6th June, D Day, 78 years after the D Day Landings.



We remember all those who died and were injured in the D Day Landings, 6th June 1944. May They Rest In Peace.

Keith, Hello. I have just returned to Paris after representing the Merchant Navy in Normandy for D Day. I was standing in the British Cemetery in Bayeux just before the Ceremony, when all of a sudden 3/4 MN Captains came rushing up with 2 Standard Bearers, and the President from the MN Association. I got a surprise, because they said "Here SHE is, we've found her!" Apparently Malcolm Mathison had given them the mission to come to the D Day Ceremony to find me, and bring me into the fold. We outnumbered the Royal Navy..!

In the afternoon we were all in Arromanches on the top of the cliff, standing to attention, with the Standards flying, when the French equivalent of the Red Devils came flying over us several times. Your colleagues from the MN were SO pleased.

I am so pleased that our initial contact has proved very fruitful. Your own activity keeps astounding me and am just so pleased to have done a little. Will reply better in the morning. Take care and God Bless. K. XX
