This morning I met an ex LI General R_ B_ on his way to visit Bill Thornton Smith, a Gunner officer of SMC 20 vintage who served in 47 and 14 Regiments. The General, who was Bill's platoon commander at RMAS tells me that Bill is in a nursing home in Eastbourne, increasingly incapacitated by MS. One of the few things he can still do is talk on the telephone. He is mentally alert and keen for contact with the outside world.
If you know Bill and would like to make this man's life a little more cheerful by calling, writing or even visiting please send a PM to me and I will send his address and telephone number.
