Sorry, I was not sure, but seems you were the file just next to us, I think I can make out the red collar.

As a matter of fact, we had the same turn out for the march, i.e. 1 drummer and 1 file of 33rd and 5/KGL respectively.

See u there in 2010 ?! Regards !

Unfortunately some more British units were already on their way home by that time (Sun. afternoon), i.e. the 68th Durham, the 33rd Rgt., the 18th Light Dragoons.

The scene would have been even more impressive then !

And one more: The men in blue with yellow facings and guideon behind the 7th Dutch Belgian Line is the

12.a 2nd Btl. Noord-Nederland
