    Hello Everyone
    Here is a brief outline of what my granddad was involved in, when he was with the 7th Batt Oxford & Bucks Lt Inf, during World War II.
    It was very kindly put together for me by a retired Lt Col after visiting the Slade Park Barracks, Headington, Oxford.
    There are only a few pages, but when I first looked at them, they lit the touch paper, that made me want to find out more, and leave me almost fanatical in that quest.
    I hoped to feel how they felt, all they years ago, was it excitement, pride, apprehension, fear?
    Was it all of them, or none of them?
    For only a second, i wish i was them, I must be mad, i couldn't have done it.
    I will just have to be content, with remembering them with a huge sense of pride.
    Thats what happened because of those pages, so visit the regiment if you want to know more, it could alter your thinking for good about everything!
