PART FOUR

‘On our hillside night after night looking out on our “illimitable” horizon… I’ve seen in thought the Soul go up and have written my own heart’s blood into the score.’

Edward Elgar from a letter (1899)

‘For some, it is the living on after the action that requires the final reserves of courage.’

Tony Geraghty, Who Dares Wins: The Special Air Service, 1950 to the Gulf War (1992)
