Remembrance Day Moment

Frederick Markham WW1
My Great Grand Uncle Frederick Markham 1896 ~1918
On this Remembrance Day take a moment to think about the people who suffered great hardship and gave so much. Let us hope for a day when people will no longer die in war.

I Wonder who they are.


I thought perhaps I should do something in honer of Remembrance Day today. So I started looking through my family photographs and I came across this interesting one. My grandfather was a airplane mechanic in WW2 and he brought back a few photos and other items. Some of the photos are of him but this one would seem to be the crew of a bomber. It looks to me like a Lancaster bomber but I am no expert. Did they make it back. I guess I will never know. Gramps died a long time ago and he did not talk much about the war any way. They look like nice young men and I can only hope they survived. Being in a bomber in WW2 was a dangerous job and I really don't know how they found the courage to keep going.
