Conscientious objectors walling rebuild

[Graham]

Nice work on the wall.

 

I had a Great great Uncle who served his time in WW1 as a Sniper. On his return he was locked in a padded cell at an institution where he spent the rest of his days.

 

Shell-shock was diagnosed as madness!

So what do we do when Putin/Isil invade. Lie down and take it or stand and fight?

My grandfather was wounded and had his leg amputated in WW1 and was totally anti war after all the horrors he had witnessed. When WW2 came around my father decided to join up in the RAF against his father's wishes.

Grandfather wanted father to remain on the farm in a reserve occupation but father chose to fight Hitler even after hearing all the terrible stories of WW1 from his father and men on the farm who had seen action.

I would like to think I would do the same if there was no other reasonable alternative

My great Granddad was in the first and second Ypres battles and Flanders. The regiment he was in (Lancashires) were decimated. From his district only two of them made it home. Every family in that area received the news that their loved ones had died simultaneously. The whole district was plunged into mourning. It must have been horrendous.

I don't think Putin or Isil will invaid. If they do I'll be off. Standing and fighting was my way, not any more. I'll leave you rough, tough old boys to it.

[TIMON]

Putin seems to be having things pretty much his own way right now.

Thought-provoking stuff.

 

That wall would never have kept the Germans out, mind.

 

True they would have found a nice spot and laid a beach towel out
