What is more political than old men sending young men to their deaths? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is perfectly possible to be respectful and remember those who fought in conflicts, whilst also remembering that some of those parading around at the services today, caused those conflicts.

Ethella Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 I've been working on my family tree during the past couple of years. Sadly, I've found (so far), that I am related to 15 men who died in WW1, some in unmarked graves and 4 in WW2. It is all so very sad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna B Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 (edited) I simply offer a humble thankyou to all the men and women who died in the name of fighting for freedom. But l also look forward to the day when the barbaric practice of war as a means of settling disputes is a thing of the past.
