Bob - Many thanks for an excellently written and moving post.
I too reflect on this day - my Dad was in the Royal Artillery during WWII and served in India and Burma. He never wanted to talk about it much - many awful things happened in that area - and we respected that.
My Grandfather lied about his age at the beginning of WWI and joined the Royal Warwickshire Regiment. He went to the front aged 16 and fought in the trenches at the Battle of the Somme. He was badly wounded by shrapnel.
To all Veterans, thanks and utmost respect from this Brit.
