The Funeral of my good friend and Bossnia comrade Regimental Sergeant Major 'Tiny' Lawson is due to take place at 1pm on Friday 5th June in Walsall. I am very sad that I cannot attend his farewell as I have given my word to give a speech at a Conservative lunch in Arundel and that event has been fixed a long time ago. However Claire, now my wife, who was the International Committee of the Red Cross Delegate for Central Bosnia and who knew Tiny well there during 1992 - 93, will go to represent both of us.
