[Glider]

Everyone
The simplicity and meaning in this recording I found very moving and I make no apologies for saying my eyes welled up when listening to it.

I urge you to give it a try

Does anyone know if the poor bloke survived the war?

Had a similar experience researching for my disseration. Hidden away in a file in the PRO was a signal from Hong Kong saying that they were closing down. The date was Christmas Day 1941.

He did survive. However he passed away in 1997 from cancer
