    Unlike the IWM. I've given up trying to tell them the Union Flag is upside down in main picture - they say it is a reverse image but you can see they've also managed to flip it.

    A minor, and forgiveable, digression I hope.

    That photo Owen. No matter how many hundreds of times seen over the years it is, for me, haunting. And haunting still.

    The disappointment on those faces. "Birdie" particularly, given the chap he was. So, never far from hand since the 60s (well in the places I was allowed to have it, or any book, with me) a photo of Lieutenant Henry Bowers from a happier day down south.

    "Birdie".

    Always remember, never forget,

    Jim.
