The flowers of Remembrance. Hour after hour an unceasing pilgrimage of bereaved mothers, wives, daughters, and sweethearts lay floral offerings on the Cenotaph. Armistice Day, 1920.
@Bert_Plumswang Thatโs HMS Unison back in Portsmouth. This is her crew when they were still in Malta, before being hit by the Yankee Arrow, a US armed tanker, in a friendly fire incident, which killed one and wounded two, including the CO, Anthony Daniell DSO DSC. He was my grandfather
At just 14, Clifford lied to serve; killed before 16 at Passchendaele. This Remembrance Day, we honour Canadaโs youngest heroes who paid the ultimate price for our peace. Lest we forget. #RemembranceDay#LestWeForget
@PusserStokes I visited the Alliance which was super cramped, always wondered if the O boats were much bigger inside. Interesting visit from a skimmer perspective.
Well I am back home, my shipmates were just brilliant, had a wonderful time at the Barbican. Apart from Union Strasse Guzz nowhere near as bad as I was expecting.
