Cpl Ian Henry Armstrong 14/20th Kings Hussars

[Guest Close Guest]

I have never forgotten that sad day when the rumours started to filter down to the "tank park" at Gosford, I had only been speaking to Ian a few hours earlier and now he was gone, but I can still see him standing there in his overalls getting ready to depart on a so called safe run delivering a Ferret. Heads should have rolled for sending them out with no radios and limilted ammo, no back-up cover etc, but nothing happened.
RIP old friend

Had a similar situation when I was over there mate with a death of someone

Understand that mate, the only solace we have is to keep the memory alive for them.

Feel for you Jill. Times like Xmas, New Year, anniversaries and birthdays are difficult for families of our fallen.
