            Some very interesting tales about the lads - on all sides of this conflict in a program on BBC2 right now.
            Very compulsive viewing - still so so sad,

              When you see all the war graves on the TV news and how young some of them were it really brings it home to you. :sad:

                    Might sound a stupid question, but we light it a 10pm, how long do we leave it to burn?

                      Pete,I think it is from 10pm- 11pm but can't for the life of me remember why those particular times,something possibly to do with the deadline that we gave the Germans to stop the invasion of Belgium and which never happened,and as we say the rest is history...

                      Rest in Peace Grandad.You gave your life so that I could enjoy the freedom of my life...x

                            I am stuck in hospital again but got O/H to light one at home. Remembering distant cousin and uncle.
