A prayer for all those who fell during the long and troubled history of the UK
and Ireland. Among them also a relative of ours. Crazy family, our great one.

His ship the Kelly he was commanding was bombed & sunk losing half her compliment in the evacuation of Crete in WWII he escaped that as well famously saying "we didn't leave the Kelly, the Kelly left us!"
Though they did manage to shoot down 3 of the planes that were attacking her.
