    Re: Help for heroes

    Google "the war poets" and you'll read some amazing poetry, especially Sassoon and Graves, which relate to RWF battles and experiences.

    I never realised that the site I linked to doesn't mention that this song is being sold for the poppy appeal/ help for heroes fund. Which is why I linked it -huhum.

    Anyway, here's the full version


    God Rest them.

    Re: Help for heroes

    Patty is "Dad" Tony is eldest son and Gary is youngest. So Pat sang that to them when they were kids.

    I know I live abroad and can't really judge, yet am I sensing a subtle shift in the British publics view of the armed forces? Compared to the hostility and protest of the last two years, I'm noticing a lot of positive reporting and much pro-media coverage.
    Am I just imagining this, or do you feel it too?
