I have just come from my local village service at the war memorial where we gave rememberance to all who have lost their lives in conflict and those who still serve. i made a prize prat of self by not managing to be stoic and dignified but crying instead (not howling i hasten to add).
The one good thing is that the entire community is involved and we have beavers,cubs,scouts, rainbows,brownies,guides,girls and boys brigade all present. We have TA and ATC as well as legion members. so there a good mixture of every age there so that the memory and importance of the day continues, as it should.
......at the going down of the sun we will remember them.
RIP XV179 and all other brave souls.
