I was delighted when I spotted this shot.
In the foreground you can see the 'lemon squeezer' hat on the head of the New Zealand military man - 'lemon squeezer' being the nickname for the New Zealand army cap and up above, overlooking the ceremony is the woman from Mesen who had the best view around ...
I left New Zealand mid-2003, bound for Istanbul and a new lif. After two years, a Belgian guy lured me into his world, deep in the heart of Europe. For a long time I was an in-process immigrant. One day we married. These days it's about photography, a little red wine and wandering ... and so the journey goes.

Lemon squeezer, lmfao.
Your army now sounds official more pathetic then ours.
Happy to have made you laugh ...
'Pathetic' ... I think not but the hat does look like the top of the plastic lemon squeezers we had back home. They gave them the name way back in WW1
