An interesting thing to note is that a young man in a Hawaiian shirt and bright comedy sunglasses strolled through the crowd on his way back from a party totally unaffected by the weight of the event. Is that what they died for? I hope not.

Remembrance Day Sunday
A little late but here is a drawing of the Remembrance Day ceremony at the Cenotaph in Bristol. It's an event I think every one should go to. Seeing accounts of the war in films and in museums doesn't quite bring to life the reality of war, but seeing the people who actually fought in WW2 does. It always astounds me how strong the bonds are between them and their comrades and re-affirms my feeling that great suffering creates great love and that one cannot exist without the other.
