Job done. My family lost members during "The war to end all wars" and think it would be a fitting tribute IF the Family of the Last Surviving Serviceman felt it appropriate. I also feel more should be done to educate the youth of today about the ultimate sacrifice many have paid in both World Wars. My nine year old niece is being taught about " Asian culture and History" at primary school and she seems to know very little (if any) about the two world wars. Whilst I don't wish to appear racist, haven't the powers that be lost sight of the isuue here? Multi-culturism is fine, but let's not lose sight or forget the people who fought and died for our privelages.
