Guest greengrass123 Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Working on a block of terraces in a small village in east yorks population about 500. Several names scratched into the brickwork all dated between 1907 to 1910 local kids probably. Anyway war memorial is opposite on the village green had a look on it and found 3 of those 7 names inscribed on it. Certainly makes you think you were born at the right time, and what a hell of a price was paid for your freedom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Too right, we don't know we're born really, compared to what they had to live through. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tracy36 0 Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 (edited) i read in the paper the other day a woman stopped a gang of hoodies vandalising a war memorial. she managed to grab hold of one of them and reported them to police. SHE GOT DONE FOR ASSAULT!!! the hoodies told the magistrates that the soldiers, war memorial etc, 'meant nothing to him! worlds gone mad!!!!!

Bothwell castle has the names of residents who lived there hundreds of years ago scraped into the walls and theres a name chisled into sandstone on the banks of the River Clyde noting that the Clyde had risen to this level over 3 hundred years ago. They even had neds back then! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

comanche 2,991 Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 The men and women who fought in the World Wars did so because most were called-up. For every one that wanted a crack at the enemy there must've been many more who were frightened .The option to go AWOL or into hiding was taken by some but most did their duty. Many fought beyond the call. Many died . Thanks to those who fought it is very unlikely that todays youth will ever be called upon to prove their worth in the same way. This is just as well .In the event of call-up we'd probably hear, "I ain't F***** fightin",from the Crack-arses( who when not off the head actually do spend their time fighting-usually elderly ladies.) and "I'm exempt .I'm a student. Anyway what about my Gap-year?",from just about anyone who could get away with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
