Re: Has everyone gone on holiday?
[quote=Hairydalek]There are very few WWI veterans left here now. I think we have three still alive here.
Imagine having a head full of 100+ years of history. And what a history too. Blimy.[/quot
Blimy! I like it! Yes that's pretty amazing. I saw a documentary of the last Vets from our Civil War. Both sides re-enacted Pickett's charge at Gettysburg, which you probably know was a real slaughter of the Confederates. As the Veterans in gray approached the Union lines the Vets in blue ran out of the bushes and hugged their former enemies and everyone cried. It was very touching!
