NEW THIS WEEK – MONDAY 11 MAY 2009

Hi there and welcome to the weekly news on Miliblog !

We’ve been rather busy this week working extra time at work and having to bring home reports to finish for the boss. Sorry to say but Miliblog is a one-man band. Well we have managed to make some additions this week, around 30 new photos. These are some more Home Office Bedford RL’s, some more US WW2 vehicles and at last some postwar German vehicles. We’ve at last been able to make a start on our links to other sites and now you will see some military vehcile clubs and also some one-make military vehicle clubs.

Our hightlight of our week was the weekly shopping expedition to Sainsbury’s supermarket !!! Why, because three ex-Royal Marine Commandoes were collecting on behalf of the Royal Marine Association. Needless to say, Miliblog contributed to their collection and had a chat with the one RM. He’d joined up in 1941 and had served in 40 Commando, which was the first Commando formed in 1942.  He’d served in North Africa, Sicily, Italy, Yugoslavia and Corfu. Nice chap, wish we had more time to chat but we were holding up the shoppers with their trollies. Still we shook his hand and thanked him, which nicely surprised him ! 

To finish off, we have 3 photos below form this week’s additions

Cheerio !
