This Memorial Day, I want to honor someone who wasn’t American, but a British colleague and brother-in-arms—Eddie Collins of the SAS. He died in my arms south of Baghdad on September 5, 2007, from a gunshot wound to the neck during a classified operation under Task Force Knight.
Rest easy, brother. You were a warrior, a hero, and you won’t be forgotten.
A burial service with full military honours has taken place at our London Cemetery and Extension in France for Second World War pilot, Squadron Leader George Marley Fidler from Great Ayton, North Yorkshire.
In 2022, work on the Seine-Nord Canal at Oisy-le-Verger in northern France, unearthed a Hurricane with the pilot still inside near to where Sqn Leader Fidler’s aircraft was last seen. Our Recovery Unit recovered his remains and DNA testing then proved this pilot was Sqn Leader Fidler. You can read more on his recovery on our website.
“It is an honour for the Commission to pay our respects to Sqn Ldr Fidler, following the 2022 discovery of his Hurricane along the route of the future Canal Seine-Nord Europe. That another commemorative service will be held today at his local church - in Great Ayton, Yorkshire - shows the power and impact of his war experience eight decades on. Now resting amongst fellow airmen at London Cemetery and Extension, Longueval, his grave will be cared for in perpetuity.” Dr James Wallis, CWGC Head of Commemorations.
Tomorrow, we honour our Founding Father, Dr. Kenneth Kaunda.
His message of One Zambia, One Nation, One People must continue to guide us as we move forward.
Let us choose unity, peace, and service as we build a stronger and more prosperous Zambia for all.

Ukraine deeply appreciates Ireland’s significant support at the political, economic, and humanitarian level, as well as the shelter your country has given to thousands of Ukrainians.
May peace and plenty bless your world
With a joy that long endures
And may all life’s passing seasons
Bring the best to you and yours.
Home is not just a place, it’s who we are.☘️
