ARMY Continued from page 6
he completed his final 16 months in the Army before retiring in 1968 .
After his retirement , Martin and his family made the decision to return home to London for good to help care for Martin ’ s mother and his mother-in-law .
Martin joined the Gideons International after returning home where he would pass out Bibles around to schools and would share the word of God .
He was a very active member in his church for many years before his health began to decline . Martin was also very much a handyman who enjoyed woodwork and raising his garden .
Martin , whose wife passed earlier this year , now enjoys spending most of his time sitting outside and relaxing with his family nearby .
Looking back now , Martin can ’ t recall every detail of his time in the Army but he certainly is proud of his service to his country and where his Army career took him .
“ I ’ m proud of what I was able to accomplish in the Army , very proud ,” he said . “ I got to see the world and met a lot of nice people , some I won ’ t forget — I may not remember but I won ’ t forget it .”
