I been buffing up my gongs for the local memorial service today - and had just realised that I never wore them (except for the ribbons on my everyday jacket) when in the navy. We didn’t do parades in boat service. My grandfather (able seaman) was lost in WW1 and his name is mis-spelled on the parish memorial. My surname was and still is pronounced McCurthy - with that “u” rather than an”a”. It’s a bit late now but should/can it be changed - I’m not unduly concerned but the record is wrong.
Antagonise no man, for you never know the hour when you may have need of him.
