True, but at a terrible cost. They died at 18 or 22 or whatever, with no spouse, no children and no house of their own. What a terrible loss of a life :( They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old.

Oh I visited Wellington in New Zealand early this year. This is the original "Wellington" that inspired the Kiwi one? But I think the Kiwi town was named after the first Duke of Wellington? Have you been to Aspley House (Wellington's house) in London? It's worth a visit. Been there many times cos it's free with my Art Pass :) “Their name liveth for evermore”.
