| My much loved brother David was from a generation who held exceptional resposibilities at very tender years. During World War Two, Dad was away from home fighting this horrible war as an officer in the British navy, while David assumed many of his responsibilities. He tenderly cared for my little sister Valerie and cycled miles for food to the town of Andover, with instructions on how to take cover if he heard German bombers approaching. |

| I flew from the USA to join my sister from Wales and my younger brother Peter in England and we drove to be with David in the Royal Surrey County Hospital where he was too ill to be transferred to a hospice. David had words for each of us when we arrived but quickly slipped away. He suffered too much pain and 2003, Mum 2007) - Colin June 11, 2012 |
| "He loved nature and photography and had a real interest in my UFO and crop circle research. He would cut out newspaper cuttings on the topics in the British press and send them off to me. He also loved his garden, shared pleasure with his wife Marguerite" |
| Synthia could not accompany me to be with David because she was taking care of her Mom who was very ill, but she sent a yellow crystal heart for David which she charged with her love. David grasped it in his hand where it remained almost to the end. Love Always. |

| EOKA campaign and creation of TMT, 1955–59 David was subscripted into the British Army and with the Hampshire Regiment was drafted to Cyprus. Mum checked into the news each night to see listings of which soldiers had been killed, something like so many mothers and wives of her time had to deal. Perhaps this is why I am so anti-war, anti military brainwashing etc...Those who served and still serve deserve a more intelligent resolution to conflict and disagreements. In January 1955, Grivas founded the National Organisation of Cypriot Fighters (Ethniki Organosis Kyprion Agoniston – EOKA). On April 1, 1955, EOKA opened an armed campaign against British rule in a well-coordinated series of attacks on police, military, and other government installations in Nicosia, Famagusta, Larnaca, and Limassol.

| Passing of My Brother, David June 6th, 2012 |
| This photograph of the three brothers was taken by my daughter Mandy in July 2011, less than a year before David passed away and ten months before his doctor took steps to find what was wrong with him. The family gathering was at my niece Hayley and Anthony's home which is within yards of the home where we lived in Leigh Road and Bere Hill Crescent, Andover, England. A great pity my sister Valerie could not have been with us. From left: Colin, Peter & David |
| When the war was over, David along with our family had a very famous person drop in for tea. He got to see one of the most famous military men in history, Commander -in-chief of the 9th Army, Field-Marshall Montgomery who with Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Supreme Allied Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower had just recently been commanding allied operations in Europe. Photo on right> |
