Will take a peek.

Sunday, I walked up to the RAF memorial miles from nowhere on Dartmoor. Moved to see around 70 people there at 11am. One read out a short poem. A few others layed reefs. Another held up their radio, so we could all hear the chimes of Big Ben, the poiniet silence and the last post. All totally spontaneous just a group of strangers sharing a common need to say thank you to those who gave there lives sonthat we could live ours.

If you enjoyed that, suggest this documentary on the end of WW1 is even more gripping

A good documentary - very informative. It certainly showed how the top brass looked upon the combatants on both sides.
