THE LAST TO LET YOU DOWN

[Gil Boyd]

I suppose in military service you hope you don't ever have to do this duty, which, if you knew and served with the person, is the hardest job in the world in front of family and colleagues.
Maybe the Marine Corps have it right, and train to always give their men the best possible send off, with a full time unit, showing no emotion.
Each unit in the UK deal with the burial as and when it happens. I know in our Regiment during Op Herrick, the rear party became very proficient at carrying coffins.
