As we get older we get melancholy. I didn’t know you, I was born in March the year you died. I saw your name on the opening credits of a film and as a current police officer I just was interested if they used a real wall of remembrance and it seems they did.
As a father myself I hope my children remember me as fondly sir. Thanks for your service.
