This, truly, is the end of the generation that fought the War to End All Wars. I hope that a fitting tribute to that generations last representatives is forthcoming, although too late for Harry, and that it comes from members of the public such as us rather than politicians.

I am not in a position to initiate such a tribute, but hope that it will come to the attention of this forum so I, and certainly others, can lend our support.

God Bless Harry and thank you.

I and my generation and the generations after owe a debt of gratitude to you and your Brothers in Arms. Rest in Peace.

I hope God take him in his arms and may he rest in peace.
