I'm interested in WW2 because my dad and uncles served in it and it should never be forgotten. They all received wounds during the war and many were POWs.

It makes me cross when I see letters etc in the newspapers when people say we are glorifying war, can they not see that without all the 'ordinary' people who served, in whatever capacity, they would not be able to have the freedom of speech today.
