Remembrance Day - Lest we forget.

Cold, very wet with fierce winds attacking you as you walk - must have been like this for the men in the trenches as everytime you look at a picture or see a newsreel....it's always wet and muddy.   I went to visit the war graves
 a few years ago and it was a very moving experience.   Ypres, Arras and Albert - all famous names.   The mighty Thiepval Memorial arch inscribed with more than a million names of British soldiers whose bodies are still missing in the mud of Pachendale and the Somme.   Very moving and something every youngster should strive to see before they begin to think war might be the answer to any disagreement between nations instead of talk, talk.

                   'In Flanders fields the poppies grow
                   between the crosses, row on row.
                   That mark our place, and in the sky
                   the larks still bravely singing, fly.
                   scarce heard, amid the guns below.'

                                 RIP.............thank you
