Sent to me today by Steve Stewart. I am sure Steve won't mind my copying his private message to me on the forum. I think it just goes to show how important the CVA is.

I am writing on behalf of my dad Thomas James Stewart (Jim) the photo posted on the forum is his brother John Alexander Stewart 2931169 of the Queens Own Cameron Highlanders and No2 Commando killed in action 13th September 1943. I visited the Casino War Memorial last year sadly my dad is not well enough to travel to Italy.

Thanks for remembering John, the photo will be treasured.

God and the Soldier, all men adore, In time of danger and not before.
When the danger is passed and all things righted, God is forgotten, and the Soldier slighted.

Do not speak.....unless it improves on Silence.

A good teacher opens the door.....you must enter yourself.
