    As Field Marshall Montgomery said of the DLI, ' there may be some regiments as good, but I know of none better'.

    Glad you posted this thread, I've bookmarked it for the next time I go.

    I recently did the Cathedral tour, for the first time ever, despite having been many times ...

    ... the DLI tribute is lovely, I still have my Dad's cap badge.
