On the 11 November 1920, the Cenotaph - Britain's National War Monument - was unveiled in London. Originally erected for the First World War, it today commemorates the 1.27 million British service personnel who have lost their lives since 1914. To mark this Anniversary, and that of the 11 November 1918 Armistice, I share the stories of eleven soldiers who have served in the British Army over the past 100 or so years.
This video is dedicated to the men and women who have served, and continue to serve, in the British Army, Royal Navy, Royal Air Force and Royal Marines.

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. . . .
