It always makes me sit back and recognize my own mortality when I see a number later than mine in the Obits in the Globe and Buster. Joe Doyle has sadly passed on with a number of RM23962. God rest his soul.
He's about 500 after mine. We're all waiting for the knock on the door.
But then I read 'The Corps Today' which now has a Roll of Honour. This month's edition records the death of Mnes Dunstan [PO61668D] and McKibben [PO62679G]. Numbers much bigger than mine - but sadly young men who are so much younger. What a tragic waste!
If I could find Tony B Liar address I think I'd throttle him with my bare hands. What a waste.
And, of course, the regret is no less concerning the deaths of Ghurkas Rfman Yubraj Rai and C/Sgt Dura.
Oh yeah! And these guys' comrades have had to fight for the right to live in the UK.
And the next edition of the GaB will have even more reports of unjustifiable sacrifices.

None of us are getting any younger, although it really brings it home to you when oppos only a few years younger are dying of natural causes, to say nothing of those young men making the ultimate sacrifice in Afghanistan.
I wouldn't even p*ss in Tony B Liars' mouth if it was on fire, the lying scumbag son of a bitch. But then, I shouldn't beat around the bush, I should say what I really mean about him. F****ng A***hole!!
