Champagne

Vitez, Bosnia

The British Army is pretty impressive sometimes. I've forgotten what the celebration was for, perhaps a visit by General Morillon, then the commander of the UN forces. The Brits have great food. All those jokes about hell being a place where the cooks are English are told by people who never ate with the British Army. Breakfast was the best of all. If only we could get them to serve coffee...

We were celebrating Imphal Day, June 22nd. From the Second World War in the Far East.

Tessa, I could spell pretty good when my brain did the spelling. But then I learned to type and now my fingers do the spelling. So that's my excuse. - James

This is a truly wonderful site; I literally tripped upon it trying to locate a particular village I had stupidly driven through in Croatia which had been blasted from the earth during the war and looked unchanged 10 years on. I haven't been successful.

Oh, and 'champaign' is charming but it's champagne that you drink. Heh....
