November 11th
17 years ago
Well, today is November 11th. It was 90 years ago today that the Great War ended. We should remember the people who lost their lives in the war and also celebrate the people that are still around like Henry Allingham (Britain, 112)
Harry Patch (Britain, 110) and Frank Buckles (U.S., 107).
There were two people in my family who were in the 1914 war. My Great-Grandpa (1896-1968) who was stationed in France and got gassed in 1917 and my Great-Great-Uncle Henry (1888-1982) who was a general.
From what my Grandma told me, My Great-Grandpa was the only one in his group of soldiers who spoke French. One night they got lost and ended up on a farm. He asked the Woman of the house if they could have something to eat, to which she agreed to. There was an old man sitting in the corner. When they had finished, one of the men commented on how good it was. A few minutes later, the old man walked into the kitchen and said to the woman "Which cat did you feed them?", to which there was somewhat of an uproar from one of the men.

We did two minutes of silence today. We're doing about WWI right now and it seems like such a pointless war where many lives were pointlessly lost. :/
