95 years ago, the guns stopped and peace was declared. I wish this was the end of the story, I truly do. I wish I could have told you that the 16 million lives lost in The Great War put a stop to all warfare. I wish I could have told you that the 20 million wounded and injured were enough to put an end to it. I wish I could say a lot of things but I fought alongside the best and brightest in another war that saw even more loss.

Remembrance Day isn’t just about The Great War or remembering those lives sacrificed, or the losses they endured. To me, Remembrance Day was always and will always be thanking the brave who fought and tried towards a better future. There’s not a lot I wouldn’t do to save my family or my friends and I saw a lot of battle blasts and shell shock. Don’t forget the human element behind the propaganda because black and white photos will never tell the whole story.

If you’re asking what good it did, there’s only one thing I can proffer; hopefully for you a world without war and a life full of colour. We can all hope.

Thank you.
