[Criminal Number 18F]

Clive, thanks for the bump, and Irma, for the poem. I am a fan of Great War poetry and didn't know that one. Do you know that Dr. McRae was one of the many victims of the flu epidemic, which took the young and healthy? (Scientists think that the over-40 had immunity, and their children had been born with resistance... but the 20- to 40-year olds, the soldiers, were critically exposed. Sad).

On Veteran's Day (as we call it in the USA) or Remembrance Day (its Commonwealth name) I was in hospital, visiting a friend and former teammate who is recovering from a head wound. (Training accident).

The day before, I was at a funeral for another former teammate, a Fire Marshal (basically, fire department cop who investigates arson, and so forth) in FDNY who fell on 9/11. I suppose the lesson is, stay off my team.

Wars continue. But we have "taken up their quarrel with the foe." The fallen shall be avenged, count on it.

d.o.l.

I am, thanks!
