An Unfortunate Casualty of War

Today we lost a great comrade. Taylor Davies, born August 30, left us on May 12th, 2011 at the age of 14. He was short-known, but very well-liked by all of us, and maturity-wise superior to some. He was forced to take the 5:30am train from the front in Ypres, to the nearest field school casualty clearing station in Paris, l'aerogare Charle-De-Gaulle. When he will leave France, and if he safely arrives in our home country, Canada, is to be seen. We are all expecting letters from him soon to hear how his healing process is going. He received a more than decent training in war-, history-, geography-, and, most important, life lessons by his superiors and peers. We hope that his beloved Brooke Marie will take good care of him, and wish him safe travels home. We cannot help but say that we will greatly miss him on future raiding parties, and daily battlefield excursions. As in 1915, strangers became friends, and then brothers in arms. Thanks for the awesome time we got to spent with you Taylor! Sven per pro for the entire field school, and especially Michelle, Caitlin, Jordan, and Patrick.
