From ninety years on it still seems such a waste.

Those two massive wars killing and maiming untold millions and ruining the lives of millions more.

What was so sad wasn’t ‘just’ the loss of those individuals, but the loss of entire cultures wiped out as if they’d never been.

During those thirty years the world lost so much that was irreplaceable and was changed forever.

It was and is a blight on the face of history.

Just never forget how proud we are of you. You and the people who flew and fought with you did what needed to be done.

As bad as the world sometimes seems, if you and they *hadn’t* been there the world would be a much sadder place today.

Thanks Dad.

How strange that you should have posted that – on Saturday night at the Albert Hall Remebrance Service, Katherine Jenkins sang the words of Flanders Fields which has been set to music and I am not ashamed to say her voice the melody and words brought tears to my eyes. The words stuck in my mind and to make sure I didnt forget them I wrote them down on the wall diary i have by the kitchen door-
How strange that you have printed them – I thought of all my old crew, as I do very often = and that I am now the only survivor. (for many years to come I hope)
