OT Remembrance Monday Bank Holiday petition
In article ,
says...
The British War
Graves Commission encouraged the Germans to clean it up and maintain it, on
the grounds that even if defeated, their men had given their lives, too.
Now it is immaculate and when I saw it there was a fairly newly planted
avenue of trees leading up to it.
My history teacher (a german jewish refugee) when covering the two main
wars came out with "There are no winners only losers, sometimes one side
loses more than the other, never forget, then you will not make the
mistakes we did"
