Knee was not so good today. Trains were on time - I embarked this morning at 6:07 in darkness - I disembarked this evening at 6:15 - twilight after sunset. We're under eleven hours of sunlight here - I imagine you have far less.

REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!





Acting Corporal David Barnsdale, British Army, 33 Engineer Regiment (Explosive Ordnance Disposal), KIA Afghanistan 19OCT2010



I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)

The Soldier

If I should die, think only this of me:
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is forever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam;
A body of England's, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.
And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.

Rupert Brooke
