The flowers of our youth still dying ....
In Memoriam
Corporal David O'Connor
40 Commandos Royal Marines
died 24 October 2012, aged 27, in Afghanistan
Dave, friend, son, inspirational leader, all round good guy and hero, died two days ago serving our country, far from home and loved ones.
A friend of my son's from the Wheatsheaf, Midhurst.
RIP Dave.
Heaven's thronged with gay and careless faces,
New-waked from dreams of dreadful things,
They walk in green and pleasant places
And by the crystal water-springs
Who dreamt of dying and the slain,
And the fierce thirst and the strong pain.
