    My dad fought at Gallipoli and later in Flanders. I visited the gate some years ago and cannot describe the moving experience. it was wonderful to see as well the number of British school children visiting. My dad died in an air raid in the second world war and is buried in a civilian grave tended by the Commonwealth War Grave Commission

    Squire nagged and bullied till I went to fight, (Under Lord Derby's Scheme) I died in hell (They called it Passchendaele). My wound was slight, and I was hobbling back; and then a shell Burst slick upon the duck-boards: so I fell Into the bottomless mud, and lost the light. At sermon-time, while the Squire is in his pew, He gives my gilded name a thoughtful stare; For, though low down upon the list, I'm there; 'In proud and glorious memory' ... that's my due. Two bleeding years I fought in France, for Squire: I suffered anguish that he's never guessed. Once I came home on leave: and then went west... What greater glory could a man desire?

    I have been here a number of times, it is a heartbreakingly moving experience and moves you to tears. My Grandfather and his 2 brothers fought in the salient, one was killed in action, the other died in 1917 after being sent home and my Grandfather survived, luckily for me. I never knew him for he died before I was born. It was a terrible waste. Ypres itself was levelled to the ground but its people rebuilt it as it was, a massive tribute to the Belgian people.

    England: "a small country of great bravery, a roaring lion." SONETO LXV If death predominates in bravery Of the bronze, stone, earth and immense sea, It can survive the beauty, Having the force to devastate the flower? How can the aroma of summer Stop the heavy harassment of these days, If steel doors and hard rocks do not Can tyranny overcome Time? Where to hide - atrocious meditation - The gold that Time wants in its ark? What hand can hold your swift foot, Or what beauty Time does not demarcate? None!

    I am almost speechless - the respect and honor you have given to those who lost their lives 100 years ago is the very highest dignity you could pay those who paid so much. The service was beautiful and the words spoken were a beautiful way to say to those who are no longer with us. Your service touched my heart and brought a tear to my eye. Today we know so little about those days 100 years ago - the battles that were fought, the men who served and the countries they represented. This commemoration service brought home the message of how costly a war over pieces of land are and for what. My heart goes out to those who gave their lives in the service of their country and to their families living or deceased. Whatever wounds you may have suffered cause you no more pain and the hand of God reaches out now and protects you.

      No, Prince William, Duke of Cambridge who is second in line to the British Crown. he's eldest son of Prince Charles Prince of Wales, and Married to Catherine Duchess of Cambridge, who was next to him. Their Eldest child George is his heir Also present were Prime Minister May and Vice-Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence (retired) who is the husband of Princess Anne The Queen's daughter. So in spite of comments below, there were British representatives. All the Royal representatives would have been carefully considered.

    For Frederick Le Poidevin, my Paternal Grandfather, one of the few to return from . . . The Great War, “The war to end all wars" Today I feel so raw I hate any fucking war 100 years ago today So many men died Left in the mud In a field far from home Loved ones not there Not able to mourn Alone and afraid Bleeding and cold Never to grow old Struck down in their prime So many never to return What thoughts in their heads The whistle blows And over the top They rushed en masse Into the teeth of hell Barbed wire tearing flesh Bombs ripping them apart Bullets screaming through the air Thudding into men Shredding organ and bone Strewn on the ground in pieces Like offal on a slaughterhouse floor No longer human Just gobbets of meat Lying on the sodden ground So few came home And those that did Would never forget The sights and smells The noise, the terror The nightmares remained With them all their lives For those men back home The war never ended Replayed in their heads Unbidden the horrors Recalled without warning Breaking their souls Countless times again And again down the years Unable to forget . . . Lest we forget

    With the insidious cultural marxists agenda usually represented by political correctness, British culture and been turned into something for which we either have to apologise or despise. It won't be too long before this sort of event and its sentiments will constitute an offence. We have forgotten them because our culture has already been assaulted and it is only time before a foreign culture living in ghettos over most of the country will be able to usurp our democracy and mold 'Britian' in whatever fashion it deems fit. Britain has been given away and most of us either didn't notice or actually helped the cultural marxist ideology to establish itself in our universities, schools, media and councils. I doubt any of those remembered would recognise the Britian we live in today and how little respect we have generally, for our history, culture, heritage and race.
