Great pictures Bunker. By the way, did you intensionally have the M43 jacket on the soldier (identified by the chest pockets) the old M42 didn't have these chest pockets.

Poem found on the body of a British Soldier killed in Northern Ireland:
"Do not stand on my grave and weep;
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush ....
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die."

Berlin Cemetery:
Berlin Cemetery's a funny place,
there's seven graves and then a space,
I thought a while, and then I knew,
those seven were a bomber crew.
