It was really moving and the day we went there was just silence apart from the bird tweeting,I think everyone there was stunned into silence. There was a tent with photos of soldiers and some of them were only 17 years old I think . My daughters boyfriend was 21 at the time and I just couldn't get my head round the fact that these young boys and gone off to fight in a war when they were really still kids 😢EssexHebridean said:I remember seeing pictures of that installation OBL - incredibly moving.

How strange that you have been barred from PA. I tried to rejoin a few weeks ago and they wanted sight of a scanned copy of my passport or photo driving licence! I wasn't happy with that so will forget them! I'll stick with Opinium!Finally Debt Free! - July 2016 🌟
