These aren't meant to be arty pictures

They are things left to me by my dad. He was a paratrooper in the war and !st Airborne went to a lot of places.

First picture is my dads campaign book (which he had to buy) and his two winged badges, cloth and brass.

Second is a photo of him in the Illustrated London News, preparing to jump on a rehearsal for D day, but not published until later.

Probably won't mean much to many, but priceless to me

Thanks Dad. RIP.

Dave,

Thanks for sharing these treasures with us. Whatever is meaningful to us is a work of Art IMHO. I know what these items mean to you - and that is what makes it important.

Awesome treasures to remind us all of one of many heros of your father's generation. They don't make them like that anymore.
