Quoted from Azimuth
Ive been buying three every year, one for me, one for Dads grave and one for Grandads grave in Eindhoven where he gave his life for us in 1944.


Nice gesture.

XXX Corps?


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

I was walking on Stanage Edge in the mist and cloud on Monday and was greeted two young fellas who had just walked up from the 'city of Hathersage' after driving up from Cambridge. Listening to their American accents, I asked if they were from the University. 'No we're from the military, we try to go somewhere interesting on our rest days like Scotland, Europe etc.'

I was again impressed by how engaging, polite and friendly so many young Americans are. They epitomised the 'can do' approach. My ex R,A,F. brother said I should have asked them if they were based at Mildenhall.

A big salute to your grandfather, Corporal W.O. N.

A hero amongst men.
