I know what you mean, Lettie. The Burma Star Association always marches through Warrington on Remembrance Sunday and on VJ Day. I always get a lump in my throat when I see those old boys in their blazers and berets, especially as an old family friend of ours (now dead) fought with the "forgotten army" for nearly 5 years, but every year there are less and less of them.

I can't remember much about WW2 but it did impact on me. I grew up with kids whose dads were killed in the war and I used to be very good friends with a Jewish girl whose German relatives were all murdered by the Nazis. You and I might not be here today but for those old men.

Lest we forget........
