Remembrance Day
As a family we were lucky that my father was too young for military service in WWI and too old for WWII. He was in the Home Guard and his rifle (when he eventually got one – most were lost at Dunkirk) stood in the corner of the kitchen. I was under strict orders not to touch it although I doubt whether it was ever loaded! He worked all day in the City and then spent nights sitting on the roofs of tall office buildings ‘fire watching’. Without mobile (or any other) phones, when a fire was seen somebody from the team had to run to tell the Fire Brigade. For some months, there were fires all over the place, so the exercise was rather useless, but the government tried to make everyone feel involved and to share at least some part of the sacrifice.
“Please and Thank You!”
Dear Reader,
In November the Americans celebrate the Thanksgiving day and it just reminded me of a Mary Rau Foster’s article. I would like to share it with you.
