    Just had Terry and his wife round for a drink of Port, and to collect the BBS donated medal money (£335 -with a couple of cheques still to come), to say he was overwhelmed is an understatement, quite a few tears were shed.
    He loves you all!
    He'll have his medals back tomorrow morning!
    All of the letters we got sent have been past to Terry.
    Once again WE THANK ALL OF YOU!

    Glad to hear it.
    The toxicity of lead varies, depending upon the weight of its doseage and its velocity!

    Just had this message from Terry.

    I became a Royal Engineer at 17 and served for 9 years, they were the best times of my life. I have been humbled to the point, dare I say it, to tears, at the compassion you have shown me and my family and the donations that I've received tonight from you. I will be getting my medals back in the morning and will give them to someone to keep safe. I cannot say thank you enough. Hurrah for the C.R.E and all servicemen.

    Sapper Terry Vine.
