Lest we Forget.
Fionn101 (your #7541),
"Moved by a wall engraved with the names of thousands of missing soldiers" (Walter Cronkike)...makes me think of another wall tablet which touched me. Some years ago, I went into a little old church in Falaise (Normandy).
It was completely deserted, but on one wall there was a small commemorative plaque recording the names of 300 townfolk: men, women and children, civilians who had died in the crossfire of the '44 Liberation.
This pales in comparison with the thousands of non-combatants also killed in France at that time. I believe the logical French bear us no grudge. C'était la guerre - it was inevitable.
