London, England,
- This is a very
comprehensive site, and I hope it stimulates
discussion about PPA.
I've spent a great deal of time looking into PPA
myself, and I'm particularly interested in
assessing its legacy as a military unit. Of
those members of PPA I've had the honour to talk
to or to correspond with, I can say that they
really are a remarkable group of men, generous
with their time and considerate when addressing
my lengthy interrogations!
There's a lot in this site, and I hope it will
lead people to discover the many other
fascinating details of this unit's history.
PPA has its detractors, and I am content to put
this down, to some extent, to unit rivalry. What
can't be disputed is the courage of the men who
served with PPA. To my mind that is not in
question.
