Remembering again: -
All the brave men & women who have laid down their lives in the cause of Freedom for all the conflicts this country has fought in.
In both the World wars. Those who were or killed or injured on the home front, defending our freedom.
Members of the fire brigades, the ambulance services, Nursing service, the Police, Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Guards, ARP Wardens.
The people in reserved occupations, men, women & children who were killed or injured or scarred for life. It was their battle too.
But especially My Gran’s brother who died of his wounds at home after the Great War.
Ian killed by a tree bomb in Cyprus in the 1955-1959 troubles. He was in my husband’s regiment. All the men killed by the terrorists out there during that terrible time.
My son’s friend Fred killed in the Falklands war 1982 and all the men who died with him.
Men of the Korean War, Aden, Kenya, Northern Ireland, all the other conflicts too numerous to mention.
Our brave soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan
We will remember them. Without their sacrifice the world would be a very different place. We owe them our freedom. -
