Hi Howard,

I was in my workshop Friday morning and lost track of time, then heard Big Ben chiming on the radio from another unit in the yard. Stopped work and stood between two old WW2 warhorses to reflect, and thinking what scenes they might have been in.

There is definitely a raised interest in the Rememberance now, probably due to current conflict bringing it home to the younger ones who have friends out there.

regards, Richard
