IN REMEMBRANCE

Well we are now coming to the end of this day , this special day because 92yrs ago it was the end of the First World War . So many very young men or in some cases boys lost their lives during this War . Many dont even have a grave because in many cases they were just blown to pieces or lost in the Flanders mud . They had to live in terrible conditions . Many times they were in water and mud up to their thighs and they had to stand duty in this all night long . I have read many accounts of the Soldiers experience that have left me in tears or in awe at what they put up with and endured . They did this for their Country and for Freedom . We must NEVER forget that they gave their lives for 'OUR FREEDOM' . Heros everyone !!
I am including some photos of my Grand-fathers Medals , he served with the 1st Devonshire Regiment . He joined the Army in 1910 , served all through the 1st World War , was badly injured on The Somme and during 1918 recieved the DCM for oustanding bravery . He continued to serve in the Army until 1933 .

The 2nd lot of photos and the photograph is of my Father . He was called up at the start of the 2nd World War and served until the end . I hope you enjoy looking at these photos , i am so very proud of these 2 men and without them and men of their like we wouldnt be here and enjoying the lives we have now ... SO GOD BLESS TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM !MY darling Dad who i love so very much and missing him is a heartache that has never gone away . He wasnt just a very 'Special' Dad , he was a very Special' man as well .. RIP Dad ...
Thank you for taking the time to read this ...God bless and Take care ..love and hugs Melita xx

AT THE GOING DOWN OF THE SUN AND IN THE MORNING WE WILL REMEMBER THEM .
