Reading accounts of WW1 it was very much the same. Some of my ancestors were stopped from signing up by there mothers and one was even told to take back the Kings shilling after he had enlisted.

I could never let anyone I loved fight in a war[ I would tie him to my bed until the end of hostilities].

I am blown away by this poetic post and tearjerker video. You have outdone yourself, Cherie. But one day is not enough for our brave selfless soldiers who keep us safe, is it? We should remember[and respect ]our vets and soldiers everyday. I LOVED the video. Thank you. Wow! I am blown away by this poetic post and tearjerker video.
