Dear and brave friend for so many, in so many ways has moved on to join precious family loved ones and his #WWII buddies, from #Canada he never really left behind and never left his uniform, said by those who knew him well. We miss you all, Sir Frederick (Fred ) Heber, #Soldier

We do not forget : ... #Peace had returned to this troubled land … For those that stayed, we were very sad.
 But we know in God’s own way,
 We will meet these men another day. …. We only hope, young people today, do not forget as we all pass away.
 12th Field Gnr. F. Rogers

We could and should never take peace in Europe for granted. Today, 100 years since the end of WW1, the European Union stands for peace and unity. #Armistice

#OTD 100 years ago, at 5:12am, the #Armistice was signed, agreeing that ceasefire would take place at 11.00am on 11 November 1918 and bringing an end to #WW1. https://t.co/Kiih8pIAXw #Armistice100 #ArmisticeDay #RemembranceDay2018 #WeWillRemember @RealFWW

Remarkable world wide release yesterday of Peter Jackson's latest movie - a #restoration work of archive #WWI footage that he turned into colour film.
Over 200 cinemas in the UK showed the movie to packed halls, with a live streamed Q/A after. https://t.co/V53ASzBajH

Just Remember Who’s Senior! Fred is a warm and kind man, a quiet man who doesn’t boast of his longevity, in fact he sorrows in the loss of his comrades. Happy 96th, Sir Fred!- https://t.co/5mO7c6FUWD
