By special request from Michael Bale we are adding here the name of his step-father Lance Bombadier Stanley (Smudger) Smith who passed away on the 31st. March 2005 and is buried in St. Michaels of All Angels Church, Clyro, Powys, Wales. This would have meant so much to him as he always wanted his name on the same page as his closest friend Tommy Bates.
