wymberley Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 You'd think you'd forget but you don't. This brings back sorrowful memories of the Northumberland Fuseliers and their nine lads in Aden in 1967. Had to listen to it on the radio as it happened, not too clever! God Bless You All.

It will just go back to how it has always been - Lawless. What a terrible waste of young lives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kes Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Another Englishman eternally grateful for their sacrifice and so very very sad for their loved ones. "They shall not grow old, as we who are left grow old, age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn". Many will often think of these brave men and their hundreds of colleagues, a small but essential mark of respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchman Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 I just read it might have been a mine left from the soviet era! ******* hell. Having worked as a technical advisor for many years for hmg on the sub-continant, you get cynical, what if it was a shaped charge fresh from Iran, that would be a good excuse to CAP Iran, before they develope nuc munitions and israel to do a pre-emptive strike...NATO would love a good excuse ! sad fact war is good for business, the whole world governing bodies stink, the only respite i have is getting out in a field with my dogs and my mate and forgetting it all, something those 6 boys wont be doing ever again, things just arnt right.............

Bloggs Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 I work on 99 squadron fixing the C17 aircraft that transport the sick ,injured and deceased back. It horrows me everytime I don white coveralls to do a repatriation. My thoughts are with their families and friends. R.I.P. Boys.....
