Bernard: Todays generation of young men and women have a very fine tradition to pass on to those who follow them. I am sure that Afghanistan will be remembered as the war of the Junior Leaders and their men, often on remote detachment, with seemingly little evidence of field and senior officers in the heat of the battle skirmishes that took place. They conducted themselves with distinctive bravery and I am full of admiration for them. Also for the outstanding backup by the medical services, who showed equal courage in extracting casualties when these skirmishes were actually taking place, and the skill of surgeons and the whole medical team exemplary. Sending warm regards and thanks for all your kind comments. Joe
