Edinburgh for Wally


I know a guy called Wally Eames. He was a great guy !! A true war hero and Romantic. He loved with all his heart and he loved for all his life. Not many people do that these days but he did. He loved for richer and for poorer and in sickness and in health. I wont pretend I know him well but I know him well enough.  

He went through world war two with the eighth army. He is dad to three beautiful daughters. He met his wife in the field of war and took her home as his bride. I didn't know him long but he was kind to me. That meant a lot to me and always will. He was an old style hero with a love of Marmalade. He once took a trip across the desert to find some !! ( and came back) . 

I'm proud to know him. I showed my pictures of me and the queen. He's daughter is my girlfriend. He could be kind or grumpy but always charming. Funny and honest with a quick wit. I know a guy called Wally and I miss him so !!!
