Recalling the 'the quick brown fox' eraEvery day of the year has its own niche in history and March 1 is no exception. I was particularly amused by the fact that the only words of English he knew were "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog's back". After the battle Bobbie was missing, presumed dead. Months later when the regiment returned, Bobbie was taken to see Queen Victoria and she personally pinned the Afghanistan Medal on the dog. A year later, Bobbie was killed after being run over by a horse-drawn carriage near Portsmouth.
