My Grandparents sent 5 sons to war - they all came back. Not all families were that fortunate. My grateful thanks to all those who served and gave their lives for us.

Yes, thinking of all those very brave people.... also, my Gt. Grandfather Charles Wright, who died this day 1944, aged 76, a Quarter Master Sergeant in India, and proud owner of his Meritorious Medal. God bless them All. Chris

Thinking of those who fought at D Day and in all conflicts. The cost in human suffering goes on. We will remember them. Gwyn

In grateful thanks for those who gave their lives so brave and selflessly,, god bless you all.

I also give my repects to all those that lost their lives & to all who came home but suffered. I was lucky enough to be in France for the big remembrance 2 years ago. Very touching. May they all rest in peace. Hilary.

Thanks to those who gave their lives for our freedom and peace. Those brave men will probably be turning in their graves to know the evil on our streets these days, (thread entitled SCUM). We owe it to them to claim back our country so all people can live in peace and safety. Liz

In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row That mark our places, and in the sky The larks still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amidst the guns below. We are the dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow. Loved and were loved and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe To you from failing hands we throw The torch, be yours to hold it high If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields Punch Dec 8th 1915 Lt-Colonel John McRae Doctor, Soldier, Author, Artist and Poet 1872 - 1918 ............ at the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them. RIP

I'm popping over to Normandy soon and will be thinking of them all and am due to visit Ranville Cemetery. If anyone has any relatives in that cemetery do let me know by sending me a 'pm'. I'll try and post this on the Records Board as well. I'll be busy supervising teenagers, but will try and look for any names that I'm given, if there is time. Claire

RIP and God Bless .... in our hearts and minds forever .... Patricia xxx
