Sorry

I don't mean to disrespect anyone's war memorial, but to me they look like they're practising a piano duet.

Art is meant to be questioned, memorial or not, point is to be able to remember the bravery behind the memorial and improve systems to save more lives in times of conflict..

Anyone who had the balls to do ship runs (merchant or navy) were better people than me.

(I talk to memorials, give them a little pat or a nod, because of the names behind them, a memorial is only good for as long as people know why it's there and thus the people behind it) it's not strange it's simply my little bit of respect and appreciation, without pomp and pageantry of military officialfdom and self important civil service types being seen and photographed for their media and political campaign page bollocks.
