Description
A bit of a take on.
Back in 39 my Father done his bit.. join the army and went to save the world.. Took the Kings Coin... he was told this is not a real war it will only take a few weeks we will beat them
by Christmas
Now he did not make it all that clear which Christmas.... Take the time to watch Blackadder the last one of the Go Forth run in is based in the WW1 they words then was We will beat them and be have'ng tea then... that was 1914 then.... it was up and over in to the line of fire of Machine Guns and Gas As they said in a song " there not be many coming back" many off those that came home would never be the same again
May there never a time when our young men and woman tell there Mums " Be back by Christmas
May the world Keep safe
May you all Keep safe and well
