Dick Winters, the hugely brave and inspirational leader of Easy Company, featured in Band of Brothers, has died aged 93. Sad, but a good innings nonetheless.

Great shame for a true hero. Great that Ambrose immortalised just what he and his colleagues did - let's not forget all the others of a similar ilk as well!

It's a sad day.

You didn't just serve in a company of hero's Mr Winters. You led, inspired and cared for them.

Have a rest now. You earned it.

frown That's a real shame. I've just finished watching the Pacific, now going to rewatch Band of Brothers. Superb guy.
