Excerpt from "I Had a Row with a German" - Tom Gleave 1941

"There can be few of us who cannot recall some acquaintance, some face we know well, now turned to a mere memory by death. To them we owe a debt, all of us, and we can only hope to repay some of it by striving to achieve that sense of values and that unselfish standard of human intercourse for which they fought and died, and without which we can never hope to know a better world ".
