A small celebration will be held in the Mess today at around 16.00 hrs on the occasion of 'Jimmy the air gunner's 94th birthday. It also marks, to the day, 75 years since he signed up at the RAF recruiting office in Brighton, accompanied by his mum, so that he could 'do his bit' .
Ladies will be present so 'scrums' and 'de-bagging' should not take place.
He was feeling a bit down when I saw him on Saturday but perhaps a few' happy birthdays' from us will do the trick today.
Thanks and Tally Ho, chaps!

You sir, are a remarkable man and a hero.
Your story is an inspiring one and those of us unborn or too young at the time owe you and your comrades an enormous debt of gratitude.
