11AM tommorrow                   . poppy - EletriciansForums.net
 
I will be at the local village Cenotaph tomorrow to pay my respects to all who served and died , including my best friend of 50 years that served 28 years in the Coldstream Guards .
 
I had a relation lost somewhere in Gallipoli, just a name on a memorial now. Only early 20s. War - waste of ... everything really.

I learnt a somewhat disturbing fact the other day about the Armistice and the Treaty of Versailles. The programme on Thursday night was saying that the terms of A and ToV were so punitive and brutal on Germany, along with the prolonged blockade of their ports that resulted in 100s of 1000s of civilian deaths due to starvation, that they were all out for revenge, can't blame them really, which led to the rise of Hitler and the events 20 years later.
 
I don't attend these ceremonies, I did through work before, perhaps I should now. But I always wear me poppy, and try best I can to observe the two minute silence. Visited Tyne Cot last year, all those names on walls & walls of memorials. Will we still be remembering them in another 100 years?
 
I'd buy that T-Shirt, Littlespark...
Midwest, I'm with you...but will observe wherever I am, while reflecting on the unbelievable crass stupidity of those who controlled the war and condemned so many to death...bitter? Yes...and lest we forget, there were those who died and should always be remembered and revered, and those who didn't die, but ordered those deaths, and who should be remembered and reviled...
and Pete, we'll all be hoping you don't nag them about the crap wiring!

French Macron nudges Trump and offers his hand for a handshake photo opportunity… What does Trump do??? "Thumbs up!"
What an idiot.
