May the defense of the Most High be above and beneath around and within us, in our going out and in our coming in, in our rising up and in our going down, through all our days and all our nights, until the dawn when the Sun of righteousness shall arise with healing in his wings for the peoples of the world; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Frederick George Bryant 1915 – 1978

My name is Jessica Bryant Macdonald. I am 14 years of age and was privileged to be allowed to march with the British Airborne on Anzac Day Thursday 24th April 2008. This was the very first time and did so in honour of my grandfather. I was also very proud to wear his medals.

Although I never met my grandfather I now know that he was a very special person. When I was young my dad told me some stories about my grandfather’s wartime experiences, which were told to him by his mother. I’m afraid to say that these stories never caught my interest. One story that I do remember is my dad being told by his mother that my grandfather was wounded in the Battle of Arnhem suffering a gunshot wound to the head by an enemy sniper and then later being evacuated across the Rhine River. 

I have now learnt so much about the wars of the world and having found out that my grandfather was a participant in one of them, I would like to share with you some of my findings on his life and war time service ... Read more

Corporal Russell Aston, 30, was one of six members of the Royal Military Police shot dead during protests in Al Majar al-Kabir, near Basra, in southern Iraq on 24 June 2003.
The soldiers had been defending a civilian police station which came under attack.
Platoon commander Captain James Hibbert told the congregation: "To us Russ was invincible, surely no one like him could simply die. "He seemed too quick, too strong and too full of life to die. "He seemed impervious to danger, he was a loyal friend, an outstanding soldier and an exceptionally proud father".
