    Armistice Hour in France

    A little late reporting, but all should have been quiet for about thirty minutes on this date in 1918.

    Here's to my great uncle, who never returned from "over there".

    When I get to this time of this day, I think about all the men that were alive until the last half hour, then the Generals felt the need to end the war where it started, and killed many that had survived for years until then...in the last half hour...
    Regards, Jim

    ... and in Germany

    Took the bike to a little town to the north-east of Berlin on Remembrance Day to lay wreaths on the grave in the market place where Russianicon soldiers who were killed during the last ditch fight for Berlin lie buried.
