Our Strength was platoon size at Husky, I think it was about 14 people wasnt it? And a paratrooper stick is a similar amount to a platoon if I'm not mistaken. (12-18 guys)

So thats at least 2 squads, which is how it turned out, 1 being run by HS and the other by myself.

I was under the impression that it was 12 men to a stick and it was to do with how many people they could cram in to a C47? Once they hit the ground they were then in squads, platoons etc like any other regular army unit? correct me if I'm wrong but I thought that's the way it worked.

There are sun loungers still without towels!

The Americans are forgiven for joining in late...

...but come on British forces! If you don't get signed up pronto I may be forced to change sides and you wont like that. :lol:
