Uniting the audiences of Forces Reunited, Forces War Records and British-Genealogy in remembrance
Forces Reunited, Forces War Records and British-Genealogy have launched a simple campaign to demonstrate our support for remembrance day.
We've all got our poppies on (i've even got one blu-tacked to my computer monitor and pinned on my Army uniform), but we wanted something tangible on the internet as well, to be spread far and wide.
We'll be sharing some posts in our news feed and on social media about local men and women in the Armed Services you may not have heard of, in the run up to Remembrance Sunday.
I'll be on parade with my regiment in Salisbury on Sunday 8th November and will be at the Melksham War Memorial on Wednesday 11th November. I can't promise pictures from Salisbury, but can for Melksham and I've arranged a special poppy wreath to be laid there from all of Forces Reunited.

The song was co-written by a country singer friend of mine and I have his permission to use/promote...
Thanks for that, Derek! I will look up that song, and hopefully will find it. I also hope you have great luck in persuading the Royal British Legion to adopt it.
Look up a song called Special Absent Friends which I am trying to get the Royal British Legion to adopt so that it can be played at the reception a lot of veterans attend after the Remembrance Day Service at the Memorial in Kyrenia Cyprus erected in 2009 to honour the 371 military personnel who...
I served in Cyprus 1958/9 and for the last four years I have returned there for the Remembrance Day service at the Memorial in Kyrenia to the 371 military personnel who lost their lives over there thankful that I am able to honour their memory and during those visits to Cyprus I also visit the...
Pamela,
I never thought for a second that you were having a go at me - perish the thought! I was simply explaining my position. No offence taken whatsoever so please don't worry at all.

Terry,
When I made my post I was in no way having a go at you. I hadn't noticed that it could be construed that way so apologies if that was the way it came across. It was not intended that way.
Thank you for your support, The Parade went well and I was pleased to see more Veterans on the parade than ever before.
Also there was a larger turnout to watch the Parade, More that previous years despite the weather!
Yes indeed - fantastic people and there are more like them. If anyone thinks I'm soft bothering about a cold I'm not - just being careful in view of my past medical history . I'll be off to Oldham on Wednesday!
So brave these guys. Live long and prosper .much respect!
