My granddad fought in France, got wounded in the hand, but lived to a good age.
We should never forget them. And lets hope it does not happen again.

Perhaps they would bring up to many bad memories. He told my Dad the worst thing of all was the mud. So bad, he seen a horse drown in it once. Let alone the number of men it sucked down.

RIP to all of them
