Our thoughts are very much with all of the Hatfield family. Ed was a very dear friend to not just my parents but all of us here in Australia, and we will remember him with great fondness.

I met Pauline and Edwin 15 months ago. It was such a joy and pleasure to of met you both I will hold onto many fond and funny memories. What a fine man he was a truly loving and caring husband to Pauline his dedication devotion and love shone through even purchasing a wet wipe warmer he had noticed her shudder if he wiped her face with a cold one .

It was a pleasure to get to know Ed during our time with him and Pauline, our care team very much enjoyed spending time with them and helping them remain living at home, Ed was an amazing person and it was clear how much he loved Pauline and his family. May he rest in peace.

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Captain Edwin. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
