This was my brave uncle. He was a Quaker so he served in the bomb disposal unit during the war. This is an extract from his obituary. He was awarded the George Medal. #ArmisticeDay

We haven’t.
When we remember we mean it.
It’s the state and its globalists that have, and we know that because of how they treat all veterans, and how they treat the native people of the U.K.
My grandad died on Armistice Day, at the age of 94, a soldier to his core.
He landed on Normandy beach on D-Day +1 and (quote) “ …never got his feet wet.”
He died before we got to where we are now but he saw it coming, it pained him because what he fought for wasn’t what he foresaw.
Lest we forget indeed.

Red poppies growing among the graves in Flanders inspired John McCrae’s poem ‘In Flanders Fields’ (1915). After the First World War, the poppy became a symbol of remembrance. In 1921, the British Legion held its first Poppy Appeal.
We remember them. #RemembranceSunday
ALT An illustration by Ernest Clegg (1876–1954) from a 1921 edition of John McCrae’s poem ‘In Flanders Fields’. The opening lines appear beside a large decorative initial adorned with red poppies. Below, a field of poppies surrounds wooden crosses marking soldiers’ graves. In the distance, smoke and flames rise from a battlefield, while birds fly overhead. The illustration is framed by a fine gold border.
