Just got back from the Arboretum. As said, wreath laid on Regt Memorial, "From all of us that came home" Had to do it after all had gone, as I had to put Standard away & collect wreath from car

I laid a poppy cross, in memory of Martin Carroll ( 45 Regt) Always remembered. For those who have yet to visit the Arboretum, it is a very moving experience. A great place to remember our fallen comrades,

Eric Blackburn and Brian Thomasson were in fact killed in the back of Rosemount Police station and not as stated.
I picked up the pieces and carried the coffin, and they pop into my head most days, they were good mates.
