Amen to that, brother.
I doubt very much that I'll be able to get it over here. But on the first of July, I'll hoist a few to the memory of my grandad, who fought on the Somme.
Come to think of it ... and this shouldn't get lost in the noise of petty bickering ... this year is it for the big commemorations. In 2116, if humans are still around on this [deleted]ed up planet of ours, the Somme will be ancient history. All power to Retlaw and those like him who work so diligently to make sure that that history is accurate. There are fewer and fewer of us left who actually knew men who fought on that day, in whatever regiment.
