The President of the Czech Republic His Excellency Petr Pavel wife Eva, visit Brookwood hosted by MAFCSV

Gerry Manolas, Chair of MAFCSV says:

Continued: The President was introduced to Veronica Macleod, Honorary Consul for Czech Embassy in Edinburgh, Scotland, and her partner Aogan Murray. The MAFCSV were delighted to be joined by Veronika & are working with her on projects telling the story of the Czechoslovak Veterans in Scotland. Dr George Scott and Lieutenant Colonel (Retired) Nicholas Southward OBE represented the MAFCSV alongside myself, and we welcomed Gilly Halcrow and her husband. Gilly’s father, Colonel Ernest van Maurik, was an SOE veteran responsible for training the Czech soldiers who went on to participate in Operation Anthropoid and assassinate SS-Obergruppenfhrer Reinhard Heydrich in Prague. As a paratrooper himself, the President was very interested in the stories of those veterans who had untaken similar training. Continues.
