I've just finished watching a really moving docu drama about the battle of the Somme.

Real sobering stuff :0(

I could not stop the tears from flowing just so moving, Gordon Brown looked rather uncomfortable at times.

The tears started when the 2 youngesters started singing Pie Jesu, Daughter and I used nearly half a loo roll, am just glad that the Soldiers didn't sing Bring Him Home.

Couldn't/wouldn't watch it. Just like when I search the CWGC site looking for rellys.... always end up in tears. So many, younger than my sons (mid twenties). What a waste. Some things never change. Ended up chucking a newspaper in the bin a few months ago after reading about the homecoming of five young men.

They should never be forgotten... far braver than myself..

God bless them all.
