Remembering those who died but also those still living, with scars both visible and hidden.Comment

And at the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them!
And not forgetting our present day "Heroes"

I'm quite into genealogy and my name being a place name surname has several origins. I found out which village bearing my name was mine but I am still interested in the other dozen families with the same name even though we aren't genetically related. couple of years ago put together a list if those with my name who died (not served, that list would be much bigger) in the wars: almost 150 of them. One or two of the families may well have gone extinct entirely because of this. Terrible. Very very humbling and really makes you appreciate the scale of sacrifice.Comment

I have researched both my family tree and my husbands where we found out his Gt.Gt. uncle died of his wounds during WW1. After much research we found his grave which we visit every year. Went there today to lay a poppy posie we also put one on another 3 boys buried near him. They were only 19 and 20 years of age and all for what?!
On a lighter note we often wonder if any of their families visit and wonder where the heck these posies come from!sigpicComment

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid 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.He who smiles in the face of adversity,has already decided who to blame
Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity Comment
