Not quite Ron, but we are one big family and when i was in Afghanistan two years ago i had a strong bond with them due to the amount of KiA and casualties they took, so young and so sad.
Very sad. Can't imagine how it feels. One of the Wycombe fans (Blue Soldier) has been in Afghanistan for several months. I think he's due home on leave imminently, then training over Christmas and New Year for a fund raising event Help for Heroes.
