Superbly executed sir .. I must confess to being somewhat rusty when it comes down to Antipodean national treasures .. But by golly, I shall soon rectify that sorry state of affairs and look the old bugga up .. Neville

I really like the symbolic link between the past and Patrick\'s way of honoring this through the simple potato, which drew its form and composition from the troubled earth, Rik.

I love how you have referenced the war poets in this fabulous write as well as Freds. A very fitting tribute to those who
