At Richard Bartrop's funeral on Friday, Alan Scotland spoke of Richard's selfless giving and quoted the lines from a monument in Nagaland, India (and copied by many other war memorials). The monument was an epitaph to the many Indian soldiers who died fighting the Japanese in the Second World War. It reads:
"When You Go Home, Tell Them Of Us And Say,
For Their Tomorrow, We Gave Our Today"
May we all have that attitude, reflected in Richard's life- that we give all we can today so that there will be a tomorrow for the next generation.
