I am glad people are going, he deserves it. I would be happy to go if I lived near enough.

[ferlew]

Well, that's one good thing FB has achieved, I don't normally like it. It had it's uses after all.

Yes, got to agree with that, ferlew.

What a fine old gentleman.

When the call to fight Nazism came, did he just shrug and say "I would go if I lived close enough"?.

No, he went anyway. Rest In Peace, Harold, I salute you.
