Flying Officer James Tillet

Britain is full of reminders of the two world wars, even beyond the war memorials in almost every town and village and the pillboxes that cover the landscape. Take this small, little-known monument I discovered many years ago while exploring the roads and paths north of Fareham...

NEAR TO THIS MEMORIAL

He died so young, so we
that are left, grow old
knowing only freedom. Let
not future generations
squander such a gift.
