Iraq and Afghanistan memorial unveiled 9th March 2017.

The official unveiling will be tomorrow, that's 9th March 2017. The service is at Horse Guard at 1100 if you are one of the 2500 specially selected, invited guests.
The memorial will be down the embankment though. linky:

As ever in Britain, we are always left exactly in no doubt where we all stand (in this case literally as well)....I read Deborah Haynes piece on page 15 of The Times today about it. I find her articles (even short ones like todays) really very well written, and to the point.
(And the point being,basically it seems apparent that zero relatives of service men or women who were killed in the line of duty in these places.. were invited to attend). Make of it all what you will. I stand to be both damned or corrected.
