It is moving to see, today, marching for only the second time, the members of the 'shot at dawn' society, for those who received no war honours, being shot for supposed cowardice, when it was probably PTSD.
My family's village is one of the 'grateful villages' - no-one lost their lives in WWII, but of the 16 names on the memorial for 1914-1919, fully half of them were related by birth or marriage to my family, as I said above, brothers and cousins.
