Thank you my friend LTC Greg Henning for posting the Eleven Stories of Eleven Soldiers - We Will Remember them.
My paternal grandfather and his brother fought as part of the British Expeditionary Force - in the Gallipoli campaign in Turkey in 1915 and later in trench warfare in France/Belgium at Lance Corporals. My grandfather was wounded but never spoke about it. After the war he was a headmaster at a grammar school in rural England. His wear veteran brother and his sister-in-law were killed when a German bomb his their home in southern England during the battle of Britain. The two children still living at home survived - one was under a sturdy table and the other was in a closet - they were well=trained on how to respond to V1 and bomb attacks.

MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D.
WWI & II were very hard on the British. We're fortunate that the horrors of modern war have yet to reach our shores. . . .
