  • Fuck the politicians. The people, who could be friends and talk together above a table with wine, cigarettes and cards, killed each other because of their stupid leaders. The politicians make wars, but the cannon fodder are ordinary people. Politicians never go to war...

  • My great uncle died on 13 October, 1917 at Passchendaele after being in Belgium for less than two months. A 34 year-old single man, a clerk from a tiny country town in Australia. What was he doing there, for God's sake? Because his remains were never found, he is memorialised on the Menin Gate Memorial. Lest we forget.

  • My grandfathers uncle was awarded the silver star for killing over 200 German while manning his machine gun during an attack. He told my grandfather in 1930 that he couldn't forget the sight of this one German with his face shorn off by a bullet, the man begged for life as he slowly died in the mud yards in front of my great uncle. Later in 1930 my great uncle commited suicide with a rifle...war
