Special Air Service remembrance tour day 1
We recently spent a few days around the Midlands and the Cotswolds and decided to visit the graves and memorials to the SAS .
Our fist day we visited the SAS cemertery at St Martins in Hereford ,this was the original resting place for the SAS in Hereford ,the first garves are in the normal graveyard placed amongst the normal buriels ,then a small memeorial garden was set aside for the final resting places of the fallen troopers ,killed in Combat ,in accidents or by natural causes .
Amongst the graves and markers are some famous names including Talaiasi Labalaba and Tommy Tobin who both were casulaties of the Battle of Mirbat , Bob Consiglio and Vince Phillips of Bravo 2 Zero fame and many other brave souls who are now at Rest .
The Memorial Garden is awonderful setting and very emotional .After we visited Hereford Cathedral wher ethere is a monument and Stained Glass Window both Recently installed to celebrate the connection between the SAS and the City .
