The years have passed so quickly but the memories still remain !!
The gates of hell were opened and we accepted the invitation to enter" 26/880 Lance Sgt, Edward Dyke. 26th Bn Northumberland Fusiliers , ( 3rd Tyneside Irish )
1st July 1916
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
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings

Just watches a segment yesterday on CNN.
The Falklands War was of course talked about (I noticed the British journo called it the Malvinas/Falklands war)
Further more, it seems they have found oil - things are about to change.
Sheffield, Atlantic Conveyor, The Yomp, Exocet, Goose Green, Jones - all words which will be indelibly stamped in my mind.....and instantly produce in my mind the often seen pics from back then.
RIP boys
