    Hi Gnomie,

    Don't put it off, if you can possibly go then make the arrangements. It's a wonderful experience and you will enjoy it despite the inevitable tears you will shed.

    Happy Birthday to Harry Patch

    Henry Allingham was 112 recently as well. He's the eldest of the few survivors now and still goes to the Remembrance Day ceremony in London.

    God bless them both and all the others who fought that we should be free.

    I visited Minturno Cemetery in Italy, My Grandfather is buried there. very emotional and once again so very carefully tended to by the keepers.

    While in Malta i stumbled across Pembroke Cemetery, They have flat graves in Malta due to the rocky surface, will post a pic.
