    Here's a news clipping on Lawrie originally posted by brithm.

    I believe he was on the first 9 Para Dakota, CN 82, with Lt-Col. Crookenden who jumped first. Unfortunately his IWM interview skips over his Op Varsity experiences.

    A few pics of Napier Crookenden in Germany with amusing comments. From the personal photo album of Lt-Col. Geoffrey Pine-Coffin, 7 Para CO, as sent by grandson, Michael.
