wwii axis reenactment forum

Thankyou Dave,

I enjoyed our chats too, and the repect is a two way thing.

I salute you, best wishes, Bill.

For those who do not know me, I think a quick intro is in order. My name is Bill Medland and I am 51 years old. Married and one son. I live in Germany and visit the UK several times a year for events. I started Axis reenacting in 1977 as an early member of the then BRA WWII. After a break of several...

I think perhaps you are missing the intended humour of my previous post

I think that is what happened...... internet is not as good as face to face,
I am sure you will agree.

Cheers, Bill.

After 17 years in Germany my English does suffer a little, I have been told that my English is very "1980s". Someone may say something at Detling, and I say:"Never heard that saying before". Several people will look at me strange and ask "Where have you been the last 20 year...

Cheers, Bill.

Hi Paul, yes I met Marloes, and I had a quick chat with her.


Pauki-Pauki and GI Jane were there too and guess what,

they sat at "our" table near the Hartenstein.... Pauki-Pauki was in "your" chair!

Now that was amusing, I laughed all the way home

Cheers, Bill
