Tsk, even a thread paying respects to rememberance has to deviate onto other subjects? How difficult could it have been ......?
Wasn't it wonderful to see those old gentlemen laying wreaths at the cenotaph on TV news today! The eldest 112, next eldest 110 and the youngster of 108. It bought a lump to my throat.I am trying to find out where my Nan's brother is buried. I have established from records that he died on 21st April 1917, probably in France as there is no Death Certificate shown on the 1837 Find my Past on-line website though I found him on there under the war deaths. He was with the King's Royal Rifle Corps. Looks as though I may need to visit Kew sometime to look up his records. My Nan always placed a poppy on his picture which was hung up in her lounge.
Valmarg, Salisbury is my local council and I haven't heard any reference to "singing from the same hymnbook".

I don't know but this thread was started by me about Remembrance Day. That day is now passed and we will all continue to remember them that lsot their lives in all the wars. I am getting sick and tired of all the nastiness going on in A4A. Snipe here, snipe there and so on. I have been with this site for a good few years now 5 I think and I am now thinking of giving up altogether. I gave up posting photographs, I gave up in the Chat Room. So, like Jeannine I think I will be bowing out soon. It is a shame, in the early days A4A was a great site but there is too much snide comments and one upmanship etc. I shant be missed I am sure so don't know why I have bothered to type this but just to let you know that I want you all to Shut up on this thread and leave it the way it was started REMEMBRANCE DAY.
