I went to school with Timmy, in Ross.
I joined the Parachute Regiment in 1979, on my 17th birthday, inspired by Sidney Ivor Davidson, 22 SAS.
I am now 53 yrs of age, and very much blessed to be alive, and enjoying my life, but I remember Timmy with great affection. He was always laughing, full of beans, with a twinkle in his eye at all times. Good lad, great soldier, why you and not me mucka ?
See you in the next life, and SID.
The Parachute Regiment makes exceptional men,and the best soldiers...
