Roger the Skiffler	BS: Lest we forget (114* d)	RE: BS: Lest we forget	03 Nov 14
Last week we visited the moat of poppies at the Tower of London, which really gives an impression (though still too few) of the numbers involved. Yesterday I also visited the National Memorial Arboretum at Alrewas for the first time since just after it opened. As well as the, sadly still growing, memorial wall to the fallen post-1945, and the memorials to the fighting services in all wars, there are memorials to the non-combatants who also served: Friends' Ambulance Unit, Salvation Army, Firefighters, Women's Land Army & Forestry Corps etc. Both sites are very moving. Whenever I visit war graves I am always struck by the youth of the casualties and remember my two uncles: Wilf who died in his teens in WW1 and Jack who was killed aged 27 in WW2. RtS
