as I said in message to Viv, we should all know what sacrifices our brave ancestors made so that we can live in freedom today. Makes me soooo sad that alot of these people are forgotten. While doing my tree I found a rellie killed in each world war and I knew nothing about it!! I'm planning a trip to london to see one memorial and a trip to France to see the other Linda x |

Do let us know how it all pans out, wont you! Linda, thats so true. My darling dad risked his life like all the other men and yet to the majority of people today, they just saw an old man, with no idea of what horrors he went through in those war years to keep our country free. Its a damn shame there isnt National Service today - Id certainly be sending youngest boy off to it, lip ring and all. |

Sorry to go on. But I must just add - a lot of you members are about my age (uh hum) and it may be that you have the dreadful burial of your dads to come. When we were arranging dads funeral, we were talking about his life and career and the undertaker said 'Do you realise he is therefore entitled to a draped Union Jack over his coffin'. I know this may sound silly, but that flag meant so much to me and sis when we went to the funeral and seeing people stop to look as we followed dads hearse with the Union flag on his coffin did make us feel some sense of doing his will. |
