Re: Today being the 11.11 a tribute.

Emotional time for many thru Europe who fought for our freedom, I have been moved to tears today listening to relatives who have lost soldiers recently too, one British couple living here who only just received the news of their son Matthews death in Afghanistan many British soldiers who have just returned from both Iraq and Afghanistan are sent to Cyprus first to recupirate from their experience before going back to families.

For those who may not know approx 25,000 Cypriots both Greek and Turkish served in WW2 I understand over 600 lost their lives. I know one or two locally in their 80's now of course, very proud to have served.

My brother was stationed in Episkopi for 18 months of his National Service. He used to say how much he liked Cyprus.

Re: Today being the 11.11 a tribute.

Thankyou for that Milo, I heard the Radio today and it was sad. On Sunday I will be watching the Cenataph service and March weeping buckets as Military music always makes me cry.I remeber my Uncle who was in The Eighth and drove Montgomery sometimes. He joined when he was 16, but came home at thend of the war.
