KELMARSH HALL Picture Gallery - 25/26th July 2009

Another great event at Kelmarsh Hall, with the unit scenario set deep in the rear as elements of the 2nd Guards are relaxing and are being refitted after their recent campaign against the Germans. We were treated to an all day banya and good food! What more could a soldier as for?

The candelabra is no more out of place than the tents as everything that could be used was!

The units cook doesn't like her picture taken, so here's one for the collection!
The last four pictures would of confused anyone but don't worry as some members of the 2nd Guards portrayed French resistance for the western front battle which included paratroopers dropping from the skies.
