A very moving video, with subtitles to understand very broad Yorkshire!

Lest we forget. Boys, yeah boys 14 years old and not much more, fought to keep us free. I'm proud of the boys, men & women, that did it to keep me free.

Very moving indeed. I watched with tears running down my face. I must be turning into a soft sod!

I don't buy a Poppy, but that's just personal.

My mums two uncles where both killed WW1. Aged 21 and 24 in France. It's a bit ignorant of me but I don't know much about them.

Bringing it back to the present I have three friends that are ex REME and three are who currently in the navy.
 
My Grandfather Alec Nalton from Driffield(E.Yorks regiment) survived the horrors of WW1 ,sadly his 2 brothers and his uncle lost their lives.Grandad died when I was 2 but my late Mother told me that he never spoke of it.

I laid a cross in George Square,Glasgow today and still have a lump in my throat....It doesn't bare thinking about the horrors that happened over on the Western front and everywhere else that these brave lads gave their lives for us!!!

God bless them all...
