XV PARA BOOK
‘I am writing a book about XV PARA and would like to ask for your help. XV PARA was a unique unit and I hope to capture its spirit by basing its history on the memories of ex members of the battalion and others who worked alongside us. I would be delighted if you could share some of your memories and help me to produce a book worthy of this great airborne battalion.’
