Well, it stayed above the line for half a day (protected by its nondescript title), but it IS a non-music thread, so down below the line it goes. You'll find that successful threads have descriptive titles and informative first messages. A first message that is chiefly a link, just isn't enough to attract attention. And it ain't fair to put a non-music thread above the line, just so it will get attention.

Perth WWI veteran Claude Choules, 108, publishes The Last of the Last

BRITAIN'S last surviving WWI veteran, who fought for the Australian navy in WWII and now lives in Perth, has notched another accolade - as a first-time author at the age of 108.

Claude Choules, who is also the last known Great War veteran living in Australia, enlisted with Britain's Royal Navy at just 15 in 1916 and later served with HMS Revenge.
