Number 1 Parachute 75th Anniversary — Glasgow And The West of Scotland Branch

On Saturday 29th August 2015 members of The Glasgow and West of Scotland Branch of the Parachute Regimental Association attended this event representing Scotland.

Visiting Tatton Park was the first port of call and it was at this location that Sir Winston Churchill stood and watched the first ever Paratroopers exit onto the Drop Zone (DZ) - hence the monument erected where he stood. (Smoking a Cigar no doubt)

Next service took place at Terminal 1 - Garden of Remembrance to those gallant men and women who made history.

Lest we forget
