To "The few" God Bless
I know just how it is mate, having served with both the RAF Regiment and the RA and also having quite a few experiences from the darker side of life, even though I didn't know any of the "Gunners" killed a couple of days back it still feels like i've lost family, saying "It's part of the job and the risk you take" still doesn't make any sense of it. People have a hard time also understanding the fact that you are proud of your Squadron/Battery/Regiment/Country and also have a hard time making sense of the losses and the fact that after a day or so we are all "Yesterdays news" and 99% of people couldn't give a damn wether you live or die......anyway, here's to the "forgotten ones" some of us have longer memories!
