I got to know the Major much better over the last 6 months or so and he is one of the most wonderful men I have had the pleasure of calling a comrade in arms. I shall bow my head and pray for his recovery. The Major has always spoken highly of so many members of the old AS community and if any of you are still out there, please keep him in your hearts and minds. If you are a person of religious faith, please say a prayer for him tonight. If you are not, please raise a glass in his honour or give him a salute. He is a brave man who has fought many hardships and has always put his fellow man first. I think now would be a nice time for us to put him first in our thoughts.
If/when I have any updates to deliver, I shall.
Thanks for taking a moment to read this.
Cheers.
