Anger as SAS book of condolence is missing
An “irreplaceable and priceless” book filled with poignant and moving comments left by visitors to Hereford’s SAS Regiment church disappeared last autumn, it was revealed this week.

The Team Rector with responsibility for St Martin’s Church has appealed to whoever has the book to search their conscience and bring it back.

Loss of the book has led to confusion over the whereabouts of the official Book of Remembrance which records the names of members of the special forces killed since the Second World War.

But the Rev Peter Haddleton said that particular book had been taken away to be updated and would be returned to the church once more names had been added.

“The book of remembrance is the book that many people come from all over the country to see,” he said. “The Regiment takes responsibility for updating it. That is where it is at the moment and it will be back shortly.

“The book which has been missing since the autumn is a book of condolence, an informal book which just appeared one day some years ago and people wrote in it. That has disappeared and many people are very upset about it.”

The vicar said the church was a place of pilgrimage and had to be kept open for the many people who visited, although he did take the precaution of keeping it locked during school holidays.

Mike Colton, secretary of Allied Special Forces Association and ex-SAS soldier, said the book was irreplacable and priceless.

“This is an extremely important book to all the visiting families who put their comments in,” he said. “It needs to be traced and returned to the church so that grieving relatives and friends and people who served with the soldiers can pay tribute.

“This book has significant meaning, not only for myself, but also for relatives and friends of those laid to rest.
“I served with some of those people who are in the graveyard. The worst thing would be if this book turned up for sale on ebay.”

Ex-SAS member Pete Scholey served with the regiment for 20 years. “If someone has taken this book it is extremely bad taste,” he said.





Keep your eyes and ears open.... Share it! Thank you!

What utter crap.

Tant01

What do you mean? No truth to the story or you don't care about the value of the object in question?

I mean I think your thread is pointless and stupid like you.

It's puzzling to me, as to why someone posting from CA is raising the topic about a book based in England, related to a British force, and someone supposedly from England seems to have an agenda about it.

Tant01

I see, so a cherished object stolen from a church means nothing to you?

The only reason you bothered to post at all is because you're a TROLL!!

I actually care about war related artifacts and would like it found or returned before it goes up for auction on E-bay or gets destroyed?

The troll has an agenda with me. Not the book...

Weren't you the guy who was boasting about how boxing didn't teach you how to punch correctly without gloves?
Look at your previous posts, everything you said about Tant applies perfectly on you.

And I looked for an old post by you.

Not fucking cool.
That's at least one thing Iraq and Iran have right, man...chopping off the hands of assholes that do this sort of thing. (Am I right, or am I right?)
Can I get a "hear hear!"?

Hey Kerr,
What's your issue with Tant01? Seems like you're really getting off on following him around and trying to grab attention by sharpshooting everything he writes. What gives? As someone who claims to be from England, you ought to be supportinve of the thread, or at the very least be grateful someone cares about an important and meaningful piece of one of the world's premeir unit's history. If not, you ought to butt out. Maybe you're a non-military type and don't understand this kind of thing, but I've served with Brits, Aussies, Koreans, Thais, Canadians, Irishmen, and others. Their traditions, and their memories of deeds well-done and the people who did them are not only meaningful to them, but to those of us who serve with them. I've always found the British troops I've met to be some of the world's finest human beings, not to mention some of the best soldiers around. They are consumate pros, and damned fine people, and a part of what makes them so - a part of why they feel obligated to live their lives in such a dedicated and professional way - is the memory of their fallen brothers in arms. I know I for one take a little extra care not to do anything disgraceful or embarassing simply because I wouldn't want my actions to reflect poorly on those who came before me, and I think anyone in uniform feels a certain obligation to those who "walked the road" before them. I personally think the theft of this book is a travesty, and is something we should all be aware of. If for no other reason than the fact that we can all look out for it on EBay and elsewhere and return it, I'm glad it was posted.

But back to my original question, why is that you've taken such a liking to harassing Tant01? You've become something of an irritant, and from the outside, it appears you're doing so for no other reason than to be nasty.
