You mean your right way up chevrons... silly american people... 
Hehe, I know Cheshire Regiment were rifles, not Paras, but thats what my Mum's Dad was in during the war, and since I live in Cheshire anyway 
I got my Maroon Beret with the Cheshire Cap badge, wont look right, but still,.... :p
Well.... the colonel who founded the Stafford way back in the day wa sactuyally told to found his regiment in cheshire but when he got ther ehe didnt like the look of it much so founded his regiment in staffordshire instead...
True story and part of Gadges Staffords propaganda no 45 in an occasional series.. collect the set!
Bizzarley Staffords and Cheshires are now the same regiment 'Mercians'.
"I think we are in rats' alley - Where the dead men lost their bones."
Well they are right next to eachother I suppose! Haha! Cant wait for my Gear to arrive, I ordered bridge too far on DVD too
M14 = Enfields... fine
Anyway... The Brits had some Garrands at Arnhem anyway, so no probs... Don't beleive me? Look at the cover of "A Bridge Too Far" the film...
Try and get 'theirs is the glory' on DVD as well
thats about as close to watching the battle as you can get.
It was filmed in late 45 on location at anhme by the veterans themselves who all play themesleves and do what they did and say what they said!
Its probaly the only time you'll see ack pack flamethrowers really really working with live ammo , and see pnathers working and then hit wiht piats... real tiger 2s on fire etc etc etc...
Bridge too far is awesoem but their is something about watching the real veterans assaulting positons that smakes you feel very humble...
"I think we are in rats' alley - Where the dead men lost their bones."
Do we have to provide our own orange arm band?
This is turning out more like a fancy dress party than reenactment for me 
lmao... we'll have to have a think about that... It would be good to sort it out so they look the same.
I guess we will probably be able to sort something out.
I'll let you know nearer the time...

I want to go to this but I doubt I'll have the money to get my FJ kit sorted in time so put me down Dutch resistance. I'm sure I'll be able to find something to wear.
Richard Vaughan (G33/40, CA33 just in case)
I'll have to have a think about a proffession. I always used 'The butcher' as my H&D2 partisan nickname but I guess I'll have to think of something else as thats taken.
