Pete,
It was your photograph that inspired the Remembrance Day Competition and so the stunning response, and the acts of Remembrance in Malaysia, Holland and France are in large part down to you ... well, to your erstwhile bugle, anyway!
All the best,
Barry

I can do no more than agree with our Pete. "Very nicely done." On this occasion he is a master of understatement, very rare and so poingnant.
You do it with real feeling, Barry, and put so much into the research of the seemingly forgotten fallen. I have great need to thank you too, on behalf of myself and my family. I know exactly how Ivor is feeling now, and will continue to do so. It is almost as though the dead rise up and shake your hand in comradeship.
Our Pete must feel the same, blowing his bugle in honour of so many, both recently departed and long gone. I have need to thank him too. He recently blew a tribute to the recently departed for me. I asked and he did it, even telling me when and where, so that all I had to do was stand in the back garden, glass in hand, at the very moment he suggested, and drink to the departed.
We have a wonderful fraternity here on this site, and it extends to the dead as well as to the living. Nor shall we fail in our fight. MB.
