    So brilliant. Not a dry eye. Every generation should watch, listen. And weep as one.

    Excellent cover. Remembrance day is branded as 'Lest We Forget', but I've come to the conclusion that this 'commemoration with it's ceremony and March once a year is more like 'Lest We Remember', because if you knew what was the outcome before you were sent, would you go to War at the command of some ego-maniac who will probably never see Frontline Action and risk their own lives.
  • Still valid today. This version is the best of all versions! It's got life! Wow! Give you goosebumps....Thanks for sharing!
