    The Unknown Warrior: A hero's return

    I've often visited the Air Forces Memorial at Runneymede and it is sobering to walk round the walls there where the names of 20000 + lost on operations from bases in the United Kingdom and North and Western Europe in 1939-45 are commemorated.They were lost without trace and have no known grave. Just to put these 20000 into perspective Bomber Command had 55573 killed out of a total of 125000 aircrew.
    This place is also a poignant place to visit, the pacific was a hell of a place to fight in
