Lord Chelmsford Said .Buller is ‘one of the finest soldiers of the century’, so modest and reticent –that it was difficult to say for what individual deed he had got the Victoria Cross as he had been doing acts worthy of it all along the line

Hello springy mate.
You lucky so and so.
You just take care of the ticker and don't try to overdo things buddy.
I hope that you get some good piccies mate.
Oh! and by the way, you know that I am English, but that I also have Welsh connections, so I should have replied to your remark about me being Welsh with a little bit of the old G&S in as follows.
"But in spite of all temptations, to belong to other nations, I remain an Englishman".
Enjoy yourself Frank, and take care.
Martin.
