Dedication

Front Inscription

Airborne Forces.

   Dedicated 
      to the
    Memory 
     of all 
those who gave their lives 
whilst serving in Airborne Forces.

"For we are noted for being at once most adventurous in action & most reflective beforehand.  Other men are bold in ignorance, while reflection will stop their onset.  But the bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory & danger alike, & yet not  withstanding to go out to meet it.` For the whole earth is a sepulchre of famous men ; & their story is not graven only on stone over their native earth but lives  on far away, without visible symbol, woven into the stuff of other men`s lives.  
                                                   Thucydides'
