Re: LEST WE FORGET Posted by Bob Ball on 9/11/2025, 9:57:56, in reply to "Re: LEST WE FORGET" I think every town here have a memorial which they honour and attend on the 11th, and hold a service, and maybe a March from their clubs to it, in fact the chorus that I am in also sang on the day, it was alway well attended, yes a lot of very young people died which was a deep wound to their folk left behind, so was it worth it? Will we ever know?

Re: LEST WE FORGET Posted by Kayt1 on 9/11/2025, 14:28:15, in reply to "Re: LEST WE FORGET" Yes Bob it was worth it sadly. Hitler left us no choice. I so admire the Commonwealth countries whose men didn't hesitate once they heard England was at war. Under no obligation whatsoever they signed up in their thousands, fought heroically, and lost Dads, Sons husbands and brothers. Even Indians, who were very much at odds with the British Government at that time, proudly gave their sevice. Imagine where we'd be now if our Greats hadn't fought. I won't write about the country who didn't enter till the war was practically 3 yrs old and we didn't finish paying them back until 2006.

Re: LEST WE FORGET Posted by Norma on 9/11/2025, 16:00:44, in reply to "Re: LEST WE FORGET" Yes and if you watch films of the war they won,what was the saying Over paid, over here ,and over sexed,But they did feed my cake when Mum was shopping at Irwin's,And years latter make a fuss of my baby in HK when they were fighting in Vietnam,hope all those we met lived

Rembrance Sunday at the Litherland Cenotaph Posted by Alan on 10/11/2025, 19:54:25, in reply to "Re: LEST WE FORGET" Remembrance Sunday @ Litherland. Rain and more rain, wondering what happened to the TS Starling turnout; it was significantly reduced today. Try playing it in full screen and set to 1080p HD. It is nine minutes long Alan ?si=xrIu84WpLIcBbq7M&t=28

Re: Rembrance Sunday at the Litherland Cenotaph Posted by Ronnie on 11/11/2025, 7:48:48, in reply to " Rembrance Sunday at the Litherland Cenotaph" Board Owner Thanks, Alan for recording on such a miserable day and posting your video. A much cut down ceremony than previous years, but thanks to the RBL and wreath-layers and the folk who attended, remembering. I found it moving watching the lady laying her wreath on the East side of the memorial @ 6mins, her relative's name must be on tha side the way she looked up. Cheers, Ronnie

What was the alternative? If those men and women hadn’t risen to the challenge the whole world, not just Britain, would have been the darkest of places to live in for the last 80 years. Authoritarian regimes would be the norm. Yes the guy is right that there is a lot wrong about the country today, but I would far rather my grandkids were growing up here than in most other countries. They are still enjoying all the freedoms that were earned by the sacrifices of two world wars.
