As you all know, I am home on R&R and we went to Easby Abbey today to visit the rose bush I have planted for my mum and leave a drink for Duncan who died of cancer. I saw a new grave of Sjt Phillip Scott. The turf was still fresh.

We came back and googled him. He was 3 RIFLES. It just brought it all home to me.

Anyhoo, I shall be laying flowers and saying hello to him every time I am home again.
