Yes indeed brilliant, an example to us all.
Especially to all the snowflakes and the generations of liberal wooly headed wimps that have been developed by a nanny PC state.
May he rest in peace, he deserves to.

Would that be the generation which fought in the Falklands, the First Gulf War, Afghanistan, or Iraq?

Woolly, this is thread to pay tribute to an English hero and really not a place for your right wing rhetoric.



RIP sir, you and your comrades will never be forgotten   9739.gif

No it would not, you need to read my piece again, and until you have walked in my boots do not judge me.

I have paid tribute to an English hero, and it's a dam sight better than left wing rhetoric whose supporters in the main abstained from any conflict.

Rest in Peace Geoffrey. A real hero. I am always humbled and struggle to keep it together when I see an old soldier speaking of their his involvement in the war. So I was when they showed part of an interview with him. Thanks Geoffrey.

It seems that the last of a magnificent generation has passed.
Those of us who enjoy our lives free from Nazi tyranny will forever be in their debt.
Some youngsters don't understand the peril our Island was in during those dark days , but the fact they have gone on to live relatively care free and fruitful lives shows that the selfless service of our fighting men, and their ultimate sacrifices were not in vain.
Hail to the protectors of our nation and way of life.
God bless feeedom and the enduring will of those willing to lay down their lives to protect our freedom.
All those years ago and the many years since.
