The last place I expected to meet an FJ vet was 2 mins from my front door on Southsea Common.
We did a small display for the British Para Veterans show, second year running, and that's when we meet Konrad Meyer.

Konrad still has a strong accent, so far when he was wounded and captured he was part of FJR22. He was an MG gunner and had fought in Northern Russia. I didn't get many personal details, number, on the day but he and his wife have invited us to their house for a proper chat.
