That brought a lump to my throat dmat, as my eldest son recently joined the Royal Engineers full time following several years in the Territorials. Five days after being posted to Antrim those cowardly b*stards shot those soldiers and pizza delivery boys. That really brings home the fragility of life in his chosen career. He was chosen to be a coffin bearer at the funerals of his colleagues but was reluctant to be in the limelight. He carried out those duties with dignity and dedication, as he does his regular tasks.
He makes us VERY proud.
