SOUTH BRISTOL BRANCH
Secretary
Bill Hillier
It is with heavy heart and much sadness that I have to inform you that Bill Hillier, our hard working Secretary and Founder Member crossed the bar on June 8th .
Norman Low had already kindly stepped into the breach as Assistant Secretary to lighten Bill’s load. And although Bill had been hospitalized for only a short while, this was so sudden and unexpected.
Our prayers and thoughts are with Barbara and her family at this sad time.
Bills funeral will take place on Friday 22nd June, Bristol Canford Crematorium at 11am. You are all welcome to attend Patchway Royal British Legion after the service.
Norman can be reached on Tel: 9568184.

2nd WEDNESDAY OF THE MONTH.
DRAFT CHIT
I must go down to the sea again,
It's not that I want to go,
But I found this chit on the table,
That told me it must be so.
Now all I ask is a billet snug,
And a little daywork job,
Many decks from boiler plates,
And the mighty engine's throb.
I must go down to the sea again
To a gay little foreign port,
Where women, and gin and original sin,
Are the favourite local sport.
And all I ask is a Cabaret girl,
And a quart of synthetic Scotch,
And a friendly Patrol to bring me off,
And a mess-mate to keep my watch.
I must go down to the sea again,
Though I'd rather stay on the beach,
To steer a course for a Yankee port
Far from the Stuka's reach.
And all I ask is a fortnight's pay,
A song, and a girl and wine,
And a refit that will last until
The lights of London shine.
Then I will go back to the beach again
And never a wistful sigh
Shall cross my lips when I think of the sea,
Or the wind, or the seagull's cry.
And all I ask is a cosy fire,
A wife, and a pub next door,
Where I'll sit and drink, and make them think,
That through me, we won the war.
