I'm going to be selfish on here and remember one person, my own Dad, M****n C****N. Joined 01.04.1957, demobbed 01.04.1979. Served in (and laterally ran) Station Workshops (are they still called that?). Not exactly the sharp end, but various stations, including Kinloss. Leuchars, Coningsby, Waddington, El Adem, Aktotiri & Laarbruch bore testimony to his skill and passion for his trade.
Taken when he was 50 by the big C, he'd have only been 72 now. The more my kids grow up, and the more I do, the more I wish he was still here. There's so much I'd want to talk to him about.
Remembrance Day isn't just about the fallen in conflicts, it's about ALL who have served. I'll be raising a glass to him, and all the others, on the Day.
