You're Top Poster: #5   | Rememberance Day Parades I was reading in the Metro, a free newspaper, that the Mayor of a town in England has asked to army unit who are due to parade on sunday to do so without rifles! The unit invovlved is the Rilfe Regiment! She asked for this because the sight of them carrying rifles may encourage gun crime! Also, in a aonther town, the parade has been banned as the police cannot provide any officers!

__________________ Spidge, ------------------------------------------------------- My Avatar is the memorial to the 22 Commonwealth Coastwatchers at the Temakin Cemetery on Betio (Tarawa Atoll) who were beheaded by the Japanese on 15th October 1942. http://www.dva.gov.au/media/publicat...mem_beito.html "You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor and you will have war." (Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.) What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts?

The "if good men do nothing" saying just popped into my head.
