Yep. Amazing. I often wonder what it would be like to be THAT old, or would I even want to? |

Harry in this month I try and remember so much being an Ex Squaddie , being a Tankie our day is November 20th and I will march in London with my old friends but will always remember those who fell, being a young 54 and only serving 23 years I realise my life was not as bad as those who served in the trenchs but I went and saw and will always remember :-) |
