the youngsters don't have a clue - we usually do two minutes silence at school for remembrance - I've got a video which shows two minutes of the war graves in france - rows upon rows of them which I show during the silence - they are completely flabbergasted at the numbers = results in them being very subdued for the next hour :) :) I know this sounds like a 'grumpy old man's' post but I suppose I got stories about the war from my grandparents and we always went to the remembrance service with my parents, I still go to a local one because one of the names on the memorial is that of a student I taught 8 years ago - kiilled in kabul by a suicide bomber :blink: - I don't take my kids though :)
