    We will Remember Them,
    I cannot believe it is 50 years today that in 1972 my Section Commander and more than that my friend Mick Boddy was killed in action.
    It seems like it was yesterday, and I will always remember it and I will never forget Mick.
    Mick was shot by a sniper whilst on foot patrol in Selby Street, off Grosvenor Road, Lower Falls, Belfast. Mick was one of four men the battalion lost on that tour.
    R.I.P Mick (aka Shag)
    Gone but not Forgotten.
    Once a Poacher always a Poacher.
    Lest we Forget.





    Cry 'Havoc,' and let slip the dogs of war,
    Once a Poacher always a Poacher.

      Will be placing a cross on his grave and memorial in Peterborough this year.
      Be who you are and say what you feel...
      Because those that matter, don't mind.
      And those that mind, don't matter!

          Rest easy.
          You cannot fight a war with one hand tied behind your back.

              Remembering you today Mick a great friend and my section commander you helped me so much when I joined the Battalion, 52 years on and I can still remember in great detail what happened on that Thursday in 1972. Always in my thoughts R.I.P Poacher.
              Cry 'Havoc,' and let slip the dogs of war,
              Once a Poacher always a Poacher.

                  Spanners do it with their tools.
