O Lord Jesus Christ who by the Holy Apostle has called us to put on the armour of God and to take the sword of the spirit, give thy grace we pray thee, to the Blues and Royals that we may fight manfully under thy banner against all evil, and waiting on thee to renew our strength, may mount up with wings as eagles, in thy name, who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.

ReplyDeleteI first came across Cpl Livingstone when on tank park guard in Detmold. He was the guard commander. When I was on stag I thought it ok to shoot off to the NAFFI shop as I was out of fags. When I returned to the tank park I ran slap bang into Jim, who, after questioning me as to my where abouts totally disbelieved my garbled excuse then smacked me in the mouth and told me to stop f....... About and carry on. I then came across him later when as a REME (TA) 3 bar he turned up as QM of The Royal Yeomanry. I thought he was a thoroughly decent guy. My most sincere condolences go to his family. RIP Jim.
