Make no mistake it took no small measure of personal courage to nav pen y fan that night,the men who tackled it can only be admired.Quint was an honest,intelligent& very fit young man,very much"the type"that fitted the regiment.We all lost that night.The tragedy is that Quint was " almost home ". B.R.
Rest in peace,young friend.
