“Mine is Kipling, followed by Service.”
When I was very little, my favorite story was Riki Tiki Tavi. I can still remember sitting on my father’s lap as he read that story and played out the parts for me!
I don’t suppose kids today learn Service or Kipling or Frost. More’s the pity.
Aftermath, Siegfried Sassoon.....Have you forgotten yet?

“The Mansions of the Lord”
Words by Randall Wallace
To fallen soldiers let us sing
Where no rockets fly nor bullets wing
Our broken brothers let us bring
To the mansions of the Lord
No more bleeding no more fight
No prayers pleading through the night
Just divine embrace, eternal light
In the mansions of the Lord
Where no mothers cry and no children weep
We will stand and guard though the angels sleep
All through the ages safely keep
The mansions of the Lord

God bless our men and women in uniform, now and in times past. We can never repay the debt we owe them.
December 1986 Flt Lt. Frank Konrad crashed his Saber Jet in
Baden Solingen Germany, he was killed instantly. A sad memory
I will carry to my grave. Brother.
Correction: not 1986, (1956)
