About Wisdom
Wisdom was a Hungarian power metal band from Budapest. Formed in autumn 2001, the group was known for its practice of basing each song on a well-known quotation. Many of the band's lyrics and all of the album covers center on the story of an old man, a cult figure called Wiseman.

Great Escape prisoner Vyvyan Howard, dies aged 102
A World War 2 pilot, who was a prisoner of war at The Camp made famous by The Film The Great Escape , has died aged 102.
Captain Vyvyan Howard, from Banbury, was captured and held at The German Stalag Luft III camp after his plane was shot down in 1941.
During that time, he aided attempts to dig Tunnels under The Perimeter fences.
His Family paid tribute to his " quiet Wisdom " following his death at a nursing home in Banbury, Oxfordshire.
Mr Howard joined the Royal Navy as a pilot shortly before the start of World War 2 and was shot down and captured in the ill-fated Kirkenes raid in the north of Norway.
He spent two-and-a-half years at The Nazis ' Stalag Luft III POW camp in Lower Silesia, now part of Poland.
During that time, he helped in escape attempts immortalised in The Films , The Wooden Horse and the Great Escape .
In the wooden horse attempt, he and others continuously jumped over a vaulting horse which covered The Trap door to an escape tunnel.
While not among those who made it clear of The Camp during the 1944, he used his fluent German to engage The Guards in conversation to distract them from covert digging of Tunnels - codenamed Tom, Dick and Harry.
In January 1945 The Camp was marched westward in treacherous winter conditions in the so-called Long March , before being liberated by British forces at Lubeck in May.
Mr Howard later said he owed his life to advice from a Polish soldier who told him " don't ever take your boots off" to prevent his feet from swelling.
After The War , he continued his career in the Fleet Air Arm after The War and was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross (DSC) for gallantry during the Suez Crisis .
His knowledge of Polish, picked up in the POW camp, led him to become a naval translator and he eventually became The British Naval Attaché in Bonn, West Germany .
in 2019 He Said : " It was bloody awful but you were in it and that was it - you couldn't just walk out of The Door . "
His son, also called Vyvyan, said: " In common with a lot of people of that generation, a lot of The War experiences only came out later in life.
" He had a quiet Wisdom - Family came first. He was a wonderful man, " he added.
A funeral service for Captain Howard is due to be held at Mollington Parish Church on 30 September.
