Beautiful picture Nick.....

I thought so as well Dockshunter   

My grandad was in the trenches during WWI. One minute he was talking to his mate, the next minute his mate was gone.

My father was in the Royal Artillery in the 1st war, told one or two humourous stories but would never talk about the rest of it. At the Poole MRS show today they held the 2 minutes silence and everybody including the children observed. I think most people now know of someone who is in the forces and has served in the field and who has not returned or has lost mates.

We shall remember them.

ancestry.co.uk are doing a free WWI records check for the next couple of days if you want to have a look.

Having just watched the Antiques Roadshow special from the memorial arboretum near Lichfield, I found the whole programme incredibly moving.
Yesterday, today and tomorrow - we will remember them.

My dear old dad was a dispatch rider in the Royal Signals during WW2, when taking dispatches up to the front line he spent time on the 25 pounders, only thing Dad ever told me about the war was 3 soldiers surrendering to him and a mate of his was blown up when he went to check a British tank that had been booby trapped, other than that he said he wanted to forget it.
He was so sick of the war and that was one of the main reasons we moved to Oz.
