We had about a dozen guys come out for this event and it was fantastic! The weather was nice enough that the planes were able to come out.
The French were passing around a newspaper that encouraged people to come to their building and trade any of their French currency for real items. I ended up with a toothbrush and some toothpaste as well as a pencil.
There was a mass causality scenario that really put the Canadian Red Cross to work (twice!)
Saturday’s attack was launched from the French side and I was able to lob smoke grenades with a fellow Blue Ridge doughboy to help cover the advance –
Hope to see ya in the trenches at the next event!
