These 3 medals arrived today. I can get them mounted and framed with the other 2. Many thanks to my old partner in crime Kiwi Ray Trembath
One with horseshoe mustache in some period of his life? Say hi to him from me, He looks like really cool guy.
But then again you don't really have high opinion of me...So ... whatever.

My opinion of you...I don’t even know you. If you are serious about wearing the kepi blanc then wipe away those crocodile tears and get on with it.

Two different occasions I was returning to Calvi from outre mer...the REP returning from Chad, boarding Air France at N’Djamena airport December 1990. And an escort from the French airforce out of Djibouti after a 5 month company tour (which included Somalia) 1992-93

Jacko's gravestone
Gone but not forgotten. he will always be in your soul ossie. Just remember the good times...a quiet beer and laugh in the company club. raising hell in downtown Calvi. Doing a jump at camp raffalli or at borgo. On ops in Africa. or Some part of the world. those memories are priceless!.. i think that’s what keeps me going when i think of the mates i lost.
