Dedicated to the memory of those who fought in the 151-156 Parachute Battalion

151/156 Parachute Battalion Association

The association was formed in the 1980’s by surviving members of the battalion, including Col John Waddy. Now, with the veterans having left the drop zone the association continues on by their families, keeping strong the bonds of friendship that was created between the soldiers of the battalion. This site is dedicated to the memory of those who served and fought in the 151-156 Parachute Battalion.
