DUNKIRK
VETS REUNION
Like
the other reunions listed here, this is also a private affair, but one
which the 43rd Recce LHG has been proud to be associated with. Veterans
involved in the retreat from Dunkirk in 1940 are brought up the River
Thames from Kingston to the Weybridge Mariners Club at Shepperton on
board some of the same vessels which helped to save them 68 years ago.
Members of 43rd Recce LHG form a Guard of Honour to welcome
each boat of Veterans with a Present Arms salute. The
Veterans are then treated to lunch and a trip home in military vehicles
provided by members of the Military Vehicle Trust and other Groups.
