VISIT TO THE KING'S SCHOOL
On Friday November 20th 2009, D-Day Revisited accompanied several Armed Forces Veterans to the Kings School in Chester. Combined, these 9 British veterans have experience of campaigns in Normandy, Burma, Holland, Germany, Cyprus, the Yangtze River region and Malaya. Here they were able to meet with pupils and share some of their experiences and memories.
It is our objective to try, in our own small way, to bridge the gap between the oldest and youngest generations so that the valuable lessons of history can be passed on. We were very pleased that on this occassion both the veterans and the pupils were enthusiastic in embracing this opportunity.
We would like to thank the King's School for their warm welcome and hospitality. The Veterans thoroughly enjoyed chatting with the pupils and according to the staff at King's the kids got a lot out of it as well. One of them apparently commenting that, rather than football players, "those men are the real heroes!"
