Lines of Communication (Forum) - John Szestowicki
Capfour (322 posts so far) | | I have the unhappy duty of having to announce the death of long term member John Szestowicki. John died on Tuesday.
John was a "grumbler" of the first order but was there on the battlefield when the Regiment needed him.
