RIP.

WWI, to me at least, really feels like something from an entirely different era. I mean, obviously it is, but it feels like it was a lot longer ago that it actually was. This verse by Ezra Pound sums up my feelings reading WWI perfectly:

"There died a myriad,
And of the best, among them,
For an old bitch gone in the teeth,
For a botched civilization..."

Thats just amazing.Such a different era and mindset,will.Deserves the fullest respect.We are loosing our veterans by the thousands as the years fade by.....unfortunatly though, their are always more with every generation that seem to follow it their footsteps.

Hope he had a good life as well as it being long.
My grandad lost his olderst brother in the Great War in 1917. No war is nice but this always seemed particularly nasty, I think it was the old style of miltary leadership coupled with new weaponry which led to it being so brutal.

God Bless Harry and all the others on both sides who fell and survived this horrible war.
