Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

Hi Paul, Lez read this out to me the other day. I was saddened to read he passed away in January. I too was lucky enough to meet him at a lecture given by Major Howard many years ago in Aldershot.
Cheers, Ade.

Always a shame when a good man passes, may he rest in peace.
