@xxEURO Hi. I am pleased you enjoyed this old New Reel clip. I was given to me by the local TV station and had no sound track. However, after all this time I did manage to get it copied and have put a (not so good) commentry on it.

Many of the boys in the clip are now in their late 40's and 2 are serving officers in the Army.
