          Rest in Peace
          It was the year of fire...the year of destruction...the year we took back what was ours.
          It was the year of rebirth...the year of great sadness...the year of pain...and the year of joy.
          It was a new age...It was the end of history.
          It was the year everything changed.

                  Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.

                      Lt. Gen. Dermot Earley D.S.M

                      Meet him twice, first thing i noticed was his presence in the room, he did not care what colour beret you wore, he did not care what rank you wore , he did care about you the soldier in the uniform and thats what will set this man apart.

                          I met him a number of times over the years.
                          And I can but echo that which has already been said.

                          Rest in peace.

                            Condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.

                            May he Rest In Peace.
                            'He died who loved to live,' they'll say,
                            'Unselfishly so we might have today!'
                            Like hell! He fought because he had to fight;
                            He died that's all. It was his unlucky night.

                                i think the big d can happily look down on the defence forces and smile to himself and say

                                they didnt fall apart and crumble because i am gone.

                                We dont need to commenorate him with monuments or statutes

                                the soldiers- sailors and airmen of the modern defence forces he helped to form, is his lasting legacy.

                                "Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman. Secondly, the infantryman always bears the brunt. His casualties are heavier, he suffers greater extremes of discomfort and fatigue than the other arms. Thirdly, the art of the infantryman is less stereotyped and far harder to acquire in modern war than that of any other arm." ------- Field Marshall Wavell, April 1945.
