Post Script

Well, it's all over....done and dusted. I'm back home, back at work and the jet lag has finally passed. We crammed a fair bit into our tour, and I'm thankful that I kept this diary, or the memories may have blurred.
I feel we have reached out and taken a grip on some past history, maybe given our boys the welcome home they earned so long ago. There's more to find out about Mervyn and James, and with help from new friends, experienced in the dark art of sifting through the archives, I hope to be able to gain a greater affiliation.
They were young men when they left home. They were young men when they fell. From the accounts of many of their brothers-in-arms, they were all well aware of the values they were defending, and the sacrifice being asked of them. These were brave men indeed, men to be proud of and ever grateful to.
The quest for Ross is ended, yet just begun.
I have added a final link to the site, so you can look at a few more photos taken during the tour. Either click on the Slideshow link to view all of them sequentially, or click on each photo individually to have a closer look. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did taking them.
