RIP To them both

That is quite sad, they were keeping the memory about the war going for quite alot of people. At least he is with his friends now

I think that if as a family member loosing someone like that would one of the most comforting people to loose. He's had a long full life and has become an honorable man...

R.I.p

Massive shame, he lived in a retirement home in Wells which is a couple of minutes away from where I live. Expect a lot of people to turn up there to pay their respects in the next couple of days.

A real big shame to hear this and now nobody can talk about the war as if they were there. RIP Harry.
