  Good old Fred. "Lang may yer lum reek."
  
  Copy editors are thin on the ground though. This is a quote from the article that fails to mention Fred's time travelling abilities...
  
  "served with the Royal Engineers from 1964 to 1961"
  Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.
