Advisory Panel
Met a chap a few days ago who is going to cycle some hundreds of Kms in France
for a soldier's charity. He became quite emotional talking for a moment about his two great uncles who were KIA at Vimy on April 9th. I was rather touched that it meant so much to him, and I'm sure I wasn't the only one there who was. On the other hand, there was the woman whose grandfather was an officer at Gallipoli and who told me she would love to get rid of the tin campaign trunk with all her GF's letters and effects in it. She was rather annoyed that her mother, his daughter, still wished to keep it all. I didn't tell her what I thought of that idea.
It's good that the locket means so much to you Flying10uk; the less we have the more we appreciate it? The tragedies of the past were no less real than those of the present, worse in fact for your family and breadwinners were your social safety net, below which what was there? The Work House, prison, Borstal, Barnardos or worse.
“There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”
Edward Bernays, 1928
Much changes, much remains the same.
