Hi All,

I have been fortunate enough to have contact with a few of "The Few". This mainly came through the research for my book which centred on one of these gallant men, SQNLDR Kenneth McGlashan AFC. Unfortunately, Kenneth passed away in 2005, but I was truly honoured to have known him.

Without reservation, Kenneth and the other chaps that I have dealt are gentlemen with an honest air of modesty and understatement. Sadly, it is a quality that is not so prevelant in current times where sometimes "heroes" are made in the last 5 minutes of a football match.

Regards,

Owen
