Eric Joseph Simeon, born October 29, 1918

Farewell to Thee! But not farewell -
To all my fondest thoughts of Thee;
Within my heart they still shall dwell
And they shall cheer and comfort me



















Lt Col Eric Joseph Simeon in Sainik School Kunjpura circa 1962

Life seems more sweet that Thou didst live 
And men more true that Thou wert one; 
Nothing is lost that Thou didst give
Nothing destroyed that Thou hast done

(Anne Bronte)

My dear father was born this day, 93 years ago, in Allahabad.
