Having seen the memorials that the French have to what is largely "our" ( and the Commonwealth) dead, I have very strong views that such a memorial is far too long overdue. I am very glad to see the proposed site being central to the country rather than another political gimmic in London.
It is particulary irritating that the US have a long established site at Maddingley Cambridge that is lacking for UK Forces.
`Re-phrase` I dont begrudge the US memorial, just p155ed that we do not have something similar.
As for Deepcut, whatever the circumstance; sons daughters brothers sisters etc etc died `on duty` and deserve to be remembered. Lets not make the WW I mistake regarding shell shock - post traumatic stress repeat itself in another guise.
We may not get on too well with the French, but they honour our dead better than we ever will. ....and the British public should be ashamed because of that.
Now where is that credit card..............
