Prayers, thoughts and deepest sympathies go out to the families, friends and loved ones of our fallen comrades, especially the ISK community, and also those of the 2 other Servicemen.
RIP and know that those you leave will be cared for totally.
Through the tears, we salute you, heroes all.

Ecce Homo! Loquitur...
The Verdicts
Not in the thick of the fight,
Not in the press of the odds,
Do the heroes come to their height,
Or we know the demi-gods.
That stands over till peace.
We can only perceive
Men returned from the seas,
Very grateful for leave.
They grant us sudden days
Snatched from their business of war;
But we are too close to appraise
What manner of men they are.
And, whether their names go down
With age-kept victories,
Or whether they battle and drown
Unreckoned, is hid from our eyes.
They are too near to be great,
But our children shall understand
When and how our fate
Was changed, and by whose hand.
Our children shall measure their worth.
We are content to be blind . . .
But we know that we walk on a new-born earth
With the saviours of mankind.

The life that I have
Is all that I have
And the life that I have
Is yours
The love that I have
Of the life that I have
Is yours, and yours and yours.
A sleep I shall have
A rest I shall have
Yet death will be but a pause.
For the peace of the years
In the long green grass
Will be yours, and yours and yours
For the families, friends and colleagues. x
