It doesn't exactly help that one of our soldiers was brutally murdered and mutilated only a few hundred yards away ! Where did you go to grammer school ? I was at Shooter's Hill GS in 1958/9 before going on to college in Westminster. I have only been back to the UK twice since 1966, being a Canadian living in Vermont, USA.
