Today as we remember all those who who lost their lives in both world wars and in other armed conflicts - we should also remember all those who suffered horrific injuries and who, against all odds, survived. |

Thank you Rollo. I realise that you have not had a good experience of help and are therefore very bitter. But I rather liked the poem for this particular day. |

I never had a scratch as my GF (a regular soldier within sound of the guns in August 1914.) advised me "There are brave soldiers and old soldiers but no old brave soldiers". His advice stopped me making rash decisions and undoubtedly saved lives. |

No rainbows here, at my age and with a husband who served 12 years in the fleet air arm I have no illusions about war. But I do believe that those who fought in the first world war in particular did, in their eyes, fight for the freedom of others. |

I must register an objection, to the reporting of Rollo's comment, which was his opinion given his experience and not meant to be disrespectful to the memory of the war dead OR living I am sure. |

Remembering the young farm lad who left his family to fight for his country & died on a muddy French field. |

Just to be clear. I did not report Rollo's post. I was not even here as I have been out since 11.15. |

I sincerely think that RR'rs should have the courage of their convictions and state WHY they report posts........ |
