final words

[charvell]

hello all some of you may know that my nephew Peter Aldridge was the 250th soldier to be killed in action, i just wanted to share part of what he wrote in his final letter to his dad describing why he had to do his job:

"this was the path in life I had to take, a hardship I had to bare, to earn the right as a citizen, an Englishman & really my own place in the world."

This was Peter's final words to his dad. I really hope you all find comfort
knowing he fell dedicated to the Rifles and his country.

an amazing statement from a 19 year lad, its refreshing to know that there are young men and women who believe in all of us.

Thanks for reading this guys.

That statement from such a young lad, rubbish's the popular view that all our young folk are wasters. His father must be very proud of his deeds.
Regards colin, to you and your family.
