Late indeed ...
Yes, I suppose 67 years is a little on the late side but better late than never? Maybe not. I was privileged to have met quite a few Bomber Command aircrew and those who would talk about their experiences at all were sad that the sacrifice made by so many of their comrades was never recognised. None of those brave airmen is with us today, and none saw the long awaited Memorial.
Rudyard Kipling spoke for all Servicemen a century ago:
For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an` "Chuck him out, the brute!"
But it's " Saviour of 'is country " when the guns begin to shoot.
