Subject: Falklands25

Hello again.

It's Twenty five years since the Falklands War so I Thought I'd share with you a few pictures from my time down there.

Later this year I'm off to London to take part in a veterans' parade culminating in a march past with the Queen or Prince Phillip in attendance........should be a cracking experience.

Wish me luck.

Yours aye.

Ken Griffiths.
