This was from seven years ago, when a group of pensioners came from Market Rosen for a visit. Always great to meet a fellow ex serviceman, and especially as we were both in Tanks and armoured cars. Got a bit of a surprise as we chatted.

Meeting a former Wehrmacht Tank Commander, and holder of the Iron Cross, who also fought at the battle of Kursk during the Second World War is not something that you expect at work. Rather over awed at meeting Joe Willisch, ex Czech national, now living in Lincolnshire.
