The end of last episode of Blackadder goes forth
I was hoping to have had my scanner working so I could post the postcards from my great-uncle and one of the admirers of my grand-mother sent between 1915-1918. Sadly they are undated so I can only guess when they were written. 2 have the national s on them so I know one is pre-1917 and the other is late 1917 but more likely 1918 due to the presence of the Stars and stripes.
there hardly ever seems be a youtube vid that i'd like to post today,
i always have the in flander's field poem, bagpipes and some pretty poppy
field in my mind today.
as i have mentioned for a few years my uncle (2 years older then my dad),
joined up with the raf in britain and flew a spit flier - he will hardly ever
talk about it, as in have no info.
my great uncle jimmy was in the 'great war'
and we have a medal he got somewhere and no one knows
where that is.
(not saying a word about when he walked into the bathroom i was
in on the toliet as a kid - he was too funny as he laughed and left,
and of course i was a mess)
my uncle allister drove into halifax for a checkup on his
heart last month - they did the check and found 95% blocked
good hmmmm, and of course fixed it and he was home in less
then a week - sorry i almost always go off topic.
(of course - gee)
so wishing we would soon see a day when we never needed
an army airforce or navy
who doesn't hate wars?
