There are many people we meet in life
Some do great deeds; But of all that can
proudly be called a hero, There is none greater than
the man or woman who gives their life for country

I Recruited Michael in to the Royal Welch Fusiliers, and from day one when i first met him his attitude to the Army was spot on, We also travelled to Iraq together on Op Telic 4 in which he was still as strong and commited to his job in the Royal Welch. R.I.P Michael It was a pleasure to have known you. Your family will always be proud of you as will the Great Galloping 23rd foot

Such sad news again. Michael, although a welshman lived just a short distance from me, having married a Coventry girl. Will anyone be printing these messages and sending/taking them to her at some point in the future? I just think it would be lovely for her to see that the Regiment does care.
Rest in peace Michael and may God watch over your loved ones.
