I think Remembrance Sunday is a good idea and should continue, but I find that people tend to just think about the soldiers.   

Both of my grandfathers in their own way contributed to the war, one of them in the Military Police and the other who stayed behind to work in the coal mines.   My grandfather who stayed at home (and whom many people considered was a coward because he didn't go and fight), never spoke about his experiences as a miner.   My grandmother has told me since he died how awful it was for the miners.   He had never been a miner before the war but felt that it was his way of helping.

So let's hear it for those who also suffered during the war but not necessarily in uniform.
