Armistice
Today is a holiday in France. At 11 o’clock a little procession will go to the war memorial and the mayor will read out the names of the soldiers from our village who died in the First, Second and Algerian wars. There are more images at Time And Oft.
I think it is wonderful that war veterans are remembered.
ReplyDeleteMichelle; we've only got four left in France from the first world war. The teachers at the school take any children who would like to attend, I think that is really important.
ReplyDeletethat's awesome. thanks for the link!
ReplyDeleteNo one should forget. Your procession is a wonderful thing. I hope they have good attendance.

Kimberley; You're welcome!
ReplyDeleteCas; I'm ashamed to say that it's years since I attended. There are few old soldiers left to take part.
