My god. RIP

People today just don't understand that most of a generation of young men were killed. And then the 'flu pandemic took more. Doubly horrific.

[mockturle06]

Think of all the cousins I never knew.

Some of those guys were artists, men of learning, and some were just humble farmers and tradies. All gone. Some succumbed years later to gas or injury. I don't think the list even includes suicides and PTSD. I remember my grandmother telling me her most beloved brother came back from the war (The War) and sat on a park bench just playing with cards until he died. Awful, awful, awful.

Then there was the entire generation of women who died unmarried because their men never came home. They, too, lost the war.
