Cats I am so glad someone remembers the outsiders as a member of St Andrews Ambulance we have a war memorial in our headquarters and each year those non fighting men are honoured. My father in law was a bevan boy torn from his green island home to face the dangers of the yorkshire coal mines.

I also take time to remember the women, those in the services, the land girls the forestry corps, the women who flew planes from the factories, made munitions, welded ships dorve trams and all the other dangerous jobs that freed men for the front.
