We will remember ...

Hang up your Chisels and Plane blades and take a load off with a recently turned goblet of your favourite poison, in the lounge of our Gentlemen's (and ladies) Club.

We will remember ...

I see blue sky so assume that it is not local Roger.
I do not think therefore I do not am.

I wonder how much wool they used?
Our local haberdasher was selling kits to make the poppies - don’t know what they were going to do with them.

Did anybody watch “100 Days to Victory”
about the final days of WW1?
An Australian/Canadian joint production on how their 2Generals introduced “modern tactics” (Tanks supporting Infantry with creeping artillery barrages and airplane support) to blast through the German lines.

We have a display on the tower of St Peters in Sudbury.
There are over 23000 poppy's with some purple ones for the animals that died.

I can't help thinking that all the effort and expense of these displays would not be better focussed on direct help to our ex-service men and women.

Not sure how practical your suggestion is since I suspect that all those displays have been produced by little old ladies at home.
