As the title implies, November the 11th will be around soon enough. Have you put any thought into commemorating the valiant warriors of both World Wars? Well, I have. I've sent an email to First Lieutenant James Megellas of the 82nd Airborne Division, the most celebrated airborne officer to witness front line duties. The American troops weren't the only ones participating to defend the the free arm of the world. Their British counterparts deserve a mention as well. Sadly, The Last Tommy, otherwise colloquially known as Tommy Atkins, the last surviving serviceman from World War 1 passed on in glory.
Much to my chagrin, I will, without hesitation, honour the death of the Last Tommy, as should you (if you are reading this of course). Mark this day in your journals, calendars or perpetual pin-up girl calendars men, this will be a day to reckon with honour, dignity and reverence.
P.S- The attached image is a picture from the Royal Irish Rifles in Somme of 1916. Such was the harsh and contemptous nature of trench warfare.
