Twas a joke...

Christ I was an air cadet for 5 years and took part in many guards of honour and parades for remembrance. War is horrific and some of us deal with it with humour.

Not nearly as insensitive as the geezer who let off fireworks from a pub overlooking a war memorial during the 2-minute silence.

Eccles or some place.

Jailed for 12 weeks.

Silence observed.

This may sound a little bit odd... there is a website called “a street near you” which shows where WW1 casualties lived on a map, you can put your postcode in and it will show you the local men who went away to fight and didn’t make it home.

We looked our nearest one up, three doors down in 1917.

Last week we rode one of our motorbikes over to Tyne Cot cemetery in Belgium and paid our respects to him.

Freedom isn’t free.

regarding you’re comment on the street near you about 10 years ago I was working on some old terraced housing in a mining village and in the local newspaper they where doing an article on men who left to fight in ww1 and in the article was a young lad 18 who left for France and never returned it turned out we had just refurbished his home the previous month it was strange to think that he left out of the front door never to return to his home I must admit it really hit home

You reminded me of something similar.

I drove up and down the A9 along the Cromarty Firth in the Highlands for 20-odd years.

I'd always wondered about the remains of boats poking their timbers above the surface near the shore.

I stopped one day recently at a cafe and discovered the story.

Fishing was a staple industry early in the 20th century - lots of little boats.

The men were called up in 1916 and sent to France.

They never returned.

They had tied up their boats before they left.

The community they left behind didn't have the heart to do any with the boats.

So they just left them as they were.

100+ years later, they are still where they left them in 1916, succumbing gradually to the elements.

It's a sad sight.

It’s just the scale of the losses that blows our minds, thousands and thousands of young men who gave their all. On the wall at Tyne Cot there are 35,000 names of soldiers who gave their lives but don’t have an official grave.

Yes, the slaughter was appalling.

This probably isn't the place to discuss, but the political aftermath of WW! is absolutely fascinating - 1919 was the closest Britain ever came to revolution, such was the dis-satisfaction in the country.

Wow, yes that is sad. But on the other hand it’s a monument to their sacrifice and we are talking about it over 100 years later.

Lest we Forget.
