| #4 Not the only interesting Brit obit today. I sure hope they're still making them like this, cause we're going to need them at the rate Barry is going. |

| #2 "For one mission he had to parachute into northern France, rifle a safe in a German brigade HQ and bring back some important papers. A top safe breaker was released from prison for two days and taught Lane how to open it." Nobody, nobody writes an obit like the Brits. One thing that can be said for fighting a world war on your doorstep is that is makes a lot of lives a lot more interesting than would otherwise have been the case! |
