The War to end Wars - hard to imagine it started for us 100 years ago today!

Equally hard to imagine what the poor souls went through to defend what we have today!

And yet there are plenty of scumbags around 'living the life of Riley' today, abusing fellow neighbours, pouring drugs down their necks, robbing, scamming, cheating...

My parents lost family members, as did most of yours probably... Let us never forget!

God Bless you all.

We'll said Ron. I think we all lost someone. My Grandad got gassed and lost a lung but he lived until 1970. Today I think he'd look around at some of the people in this country and wonder what for ?
