From Michael Wattam

Lt Col Derek Wilford. OBE

What can be said of an officer, that hadn't been said before.

One of outstanding achievements,

Who fought with the best, no more.

A man who led by example, and set a big test for his men.

But never forgot where he started, and made sure, he did it, his sen.

He always worked hard to achieve things, and never failed his men.

He stood by all that he asked them, knowing he would ask them again.

He stood by his soldiers much later on, as traitors tore him apart.

We who served with him know where the blames lies, Westmonster practiced the art.

We will always remember, this man, from very deep in our heart.

His love, strength and character, set him apart,

That made him, very close to all our hearts.
