Hey sharpend,
Thanks for replying to the post.
I'm sorry for the loss of your friends. Although Russ was my uncle I feel removed from the whole situation as it all happened before I was born. It must have been horrible to go through, as well as being Taff's Effects Officer. My condolences.
I've been told that my uncles' funeral was on, or within a few days of, his wedding day. A tragic event all round.
I hope what you remember of them are the good times
All the best,
Stuart
