Thanks, Bob.  No, my Boss and his nav died on the second night, their first 
push.  I spent a lot of that night helped by my wife, getting to a wife and a 
girlfriend to tell them the news.  But worse was to come: a few days later I 
had to upgrade "missing" to "missing, believed killed".  But by that time it 
was not only the poor wife as the recipient of the news; much of the chap's 
family had got there and I had a large, sombre audience.

That was possibly my most difficult moment, ever . . .

But it's certain that others have had worse to do, repeatedly.
