Life is so short, or is it? Mother was 92 today. Born in 1915, this means that Grandfather must have seen some action on the home front shortly before hostilities began in France.
It's like the other day, opposite the G's front door stands the village war memorial and it says at the bottom of the list of the dead ..."Who gave their life for King and Country"
It seems such an abstract concept for dying young.

Which brings to mind the question of the inscription on one's own gravestone?
"...Who gave his life for Isokern and Leca".
They sound like Greek gods.
Or for the atheist- 'All dressed up and nowhere to go'
