Their courage and resilience shone through as they fought against all odds to survive. Jack Frere of the Paratroops exemplified heroism during this tumultuous time. His unwavering dedication to his comrades and country made him an inspiration to all who knew him. He stood tall amidst chaos and uncertainty, embodying bravery at its finest.
