They want to honour one soldier for being the last of those that in the words of their German foes "walked dogedly forwad under our machineguns with grim determination." Many died needlessly through incompetence ( sir Douglas Haigs Flanders obsession) and are only remembered by family and on the 11th of November. The cream of Accrington men died in that war slaughtered at Serre during the Somme campaign were more died Tommies died in that first day than in the first 3 weeks in Normandy. Lets have a National Day of Rememberance for these men who in some cases were just 15 / 16 year old kids. Polititions got us into the mess in the first place the armed forces helped get us out of it.

KEEP THE POLITITIONS AWAY FROM THE LAST SOLDIER TO DIE HE IS MORE OF A MAN THAN THE WHOLE PRESENT PARLIMENT!!!!!
