80 years ago today the 26th Infantry Regiment of the US Army was on their 158th day of almost continuous action since June 6, 1944. They were in the Hürtgen Forest and by early December they would be given one month of rest in December in Aubel, Belgium but that only lasted a week because the fighting in the Ardennes would begin.
That's what my dad was up to. There is a lot to remember from the past as it plays out again today.

Tien jaar geleden brachten we deze videoclip over WO1 uit. Helaas nog steeds actueel. Vandaag is het #poppyday, oftewel #remembranceday, de jaarlijkse dag waarop herdacht werd dat in 1918 de wapenstilstand getekend werd, nadat er in deze oorlog 10 miljoen soldaten plus 7 miljoen burgers stierven. De beelden in de videoclip zijn echte, found footage beelden uit #Vlaanderen tussen 1916 en 1918:

How remembrance became eclipsed by jingoism and shaming.

Lest We Forget. Which of course we won't with wars still raging on as bloodthirsty and indiscriminate as ever.

REMEMBRANCE DAY TODAY
(also known as Poppy Day owing to the tradition of wearing a remembrance poppy) is a memorial day observed since the end of the First World War in 1919 to honour armed forces members who have died in the line of duty.
The day is also marked by war remembrances in several other non-Commonwealth countries.
In most countries, Remembrance Day is observed on 11 November to recall the end of First World War hostilities.

CW: Poppy Day post
My Granda's family lost two (one at the Somme, the other in Belgium). My Granny's family lost one (also at the Somme). Granda's family never got over their loss and my Granda mourned his Great Uncle's like he'd lost them in his lifetime.Before he died he would go to services even when he was very ill.
In the letter to my Great Aunt, the Minister says my family died for a noble cause. It must have comforted my family. I think they died in a pointless slaughter and war.

Lump in throat. Blackadder’s final episode was the best comedy episode of all time. And the saddest. #Blackadder #poppyday

Rise and deride this sepulchre of crime.” #RemembranceDay #PoppyDay #WhiteFeathers #WWI #Sassoon #xp
