November 11th


After a week of "shorts weather" November 11th comes along, and the temperature plummets. Seems to happen every year, just in time for standing out in the cold by the cenotaph.

However, a few minutes in the cold has no comparison to the years of cold, wet, terrifying, muddy and deadly warfare these soldiers, sailors and airmen bore!
