On 3 July the 94 year-old Dutch veteran Jaap Smid was presented with British “parawings” by British Colonel Sean English, in the presence of Defence Minister Hennis and Ambassador Sir Geoffrey Adams. Smid, who was trained as a parachutist in England in 1940, lost his parawings in battle during WWII. Colonel English travelled to the Netherlands especially to present the new parawings and a certificate to Mr. Smid. The close British/Dutch cooperation to make this happen shows the shared understanding on the recognition of veterans.
