I cannot imagine either, he lived to 85, was a heavy whiskey drinker most nights but never seemed drunk, almost as if it was just medicinal, just enough to sleep and blank out the memories. The highlanders honoured him at his funeral in 2006 all those years since the war ended. We dint know we are born really do we? The stuff they all went thru and we moan about the weather, traffic and the like....🤷ðŸ¼â€â™‚ï¸ | |

"They Shall Not Grow Old." on 19:02 - Nov 20 with 672 views | Witneyjack | 14 million deaths in The Great War. Whilst watching the footage of two Police Officers being attacked in London yesterday, I did wonder how the young of today would fare if faced with the challenges of 1914. The truth is most of them wouldn't fare very well at all. The Old Contemptibles and later Kitchener's army would have failed miserably if made up from today's youngsters. | | | |
