While the rest of our group were in Normandy Pfc Kevin 'Bunny' Warren was invited to U.S. as guest of the ' Filthy 13' at the massive Reading Show.
Kevin had helped on the new painting of these guys by supplying photo's of kit ect for the painter . Here is Kevin with those famous pathfinders.

I met Jack Agnew twice and I hope to meet Jake McNiece for one time. I eally loved the book about the Filthy Thirteen. I am happy to have a copy of it signed by Jack Agnew.
