My great uncle sadly passed away last week.... I remember him quite well from when I was younger but never saw him for the last 10 years or so.
I had no idea what he's been through!
One of the orig SAS members, PoW for 2 years! What a guy.

I bet he could have told a story.
Have massive admiration for that generation. What are we going to tell our grandkids? How we survived the Credit Crunch and Mad Cow Disease?
