pesky1972 4,927 Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 Had a look in earlier and was a bit surprised there wasn’t the expected ‘Lest we forget’ thread going. Can’t say I was disappointed though, and I certainly didn’t get the urge to start a thread. I think many people like me still remember those that made the ultimate sacrifice for us all, with a moment of quiet contemplation, and the wearing of a poppy. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greb147 6,808 Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 We switched off our machines at 11 and had a 2 minutes silence, was quite sad as it brought my mind to a relative who died at Gallipoli aged 21. Just a quick thought of his parents losing their child at that age who probably didn't fully understand how bad it would be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky 3,325 Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 I was born in the 40s and grew up through the 50s and 60s what i thought as normal in those days was to see people with limbs missing or destroyed faces , this could be seen in any town or village in England and anywhere else in the World i imagine , what i never heard from any that i met was complaining about their injuries ! they just got on with it and done the best they could....What a Breed they were ! and what would they think of todays stock who think they are being brave when they sit behind a computer talking about the agony of Toothache, Sciatica and a twinge in the Shoulder.

Give it up mate , you're the dopey sod on general section complaining it's not hunting related , stop reading the drivel, are you incapable of switching off your computer or go and set a trap or something. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greb147 6,808 Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 I've always wondered how long it will be before it vanishes if it ever does, I hope not. I mean I'm sure those throughout history have honoured the dead in battle but eventually it becomes a distant memory and left in the history books. I suppose Remembrance Day is in memory of all that have fallen but it's emphasis is of those killed during WW1. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLATTOP 3,656 Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 11am this morning I observed the 2 minutes silence, we are having a bit of a sort out in the house at the moment and came across some video discs of a visit by my wife her twin sister and Mother to Krangi War Memorial in Singapore where they visited to pay respect to their fallen Grandfather and Father who was a warrior of the Leicestershire Regiment. We watched the discs the other day and today I thought of my wife’s grandfather who gave his life, but then I was angry at the news of another 800 crossing the channel today, 1200 the last couple of days and thought what was it all for we are being INVADED and no one seems to give a f**k individual action will solve nothing, what is going on men died to stop an invasion and today we are ferrying them over this government are traitors to our past and present population and the RNLI what on earth are they doing if a lorry driver committed their crimes they would be locked up. To say I am unhappy at the present situation is an understatement I think the tipping point has been reached and there is no going back. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
