@cusackandrew: Visited Erskine Childers' old regiment in London tonight. His name on the Boer War roll of honour was pointed out with ironic pride.

    What a sad, terrible thing. A melancholy way to have to end your days at St Andrews.

    We will all pray for him and his family.

    May angels lead him into Paradise; may the martyrs receive him at your coming and lead him to the holy city of Jerusalem. May a choir of angels receive him, and with Lazarus, who once was poor, may he have eternal rest.

    A horrible and utterly tragic loss for everyone.

    Maiorem hac dilectionem nemo habet ut animam suam quis ponat pro amicis suis. What a chivalrous young man–in the very best sense of that word.
