Hi All,
One of the few famous for their actions and famous for being so modest about it.

RIP Mr Wilkinson and thank you.

Geoff.

It seems just a short while ago that we marked the last survivor from the First World War, and now it is those from the latter conflict who are fading fast. We must appreciate them while we still can.

They lived through extraordinary times, and they were, and still are, remarkable people.

As the few get fewer we need to put more effort into remembering them.

Rest now with old comrades and, yes. thank you.
