Hello Gillian

I have this morning sent a message to you re your sons message RIP. He obviously cares a great deal about his comrades and the sate of this world. Most people who serve in any of the services miss the comradship, the "new family" they have shared times with and it is not uncommon for them to do exactly wht has just happened to you.
I have made contact with you re your other message, so hope to hear from you soon
