A visit to the D-Day Map room Col. John Baber, left, explains the use of the historic D-Day wall map - in the very room in which the execution of the 1944 Anglo-American-Canadian Normandy landings was planned. Social and planning meeting The UK Brigade of Kentucky Colonels enjoyed a successful inaugural event in London on 16 April 2010, with Colonels attending from all parts of the United Kingdom. Messages of support were received from as far afield as San Francisco, Australia, and, of course, Kentucky. The room was packed and we shall have to hire a bigger one next time. (It was, admittedly, a very small room.) As well as getting to know each other, the Colonels heard a report on the development of the UK Brigade and discussed plans for our first big charity fundraising event, our gala dinner in September.
Britain's newest Colonel Colonel Ian Tough - who received confirmation of his commission just a few days before our inaugural social gathering - is congratulated by Col. Jack Patrick (right) and Col. Stephen Nimmons (centre)
