  • My mother (service number 2096854) passed away July 2021. She often talked very fondly of Fraser and said he was "Gentleman." She had the greatest admiration for the men and women from lands far away that came to Britain prepared to sacrifice their life for people they did not know.

    I promised my mother I would lay a poppy on the online cenotaph for Fraser. In honour of heros like Fraser may he rest in peace.
