  Very well put. I often think of those young men that lost their lives before they even had the chance to live it.How many of them would have gone on to marry have children etc become famous artists writers sportsman ....a whole generation and potential future generations lost forever.
  
  I remember when I was a lad my great Uncle who was a gas casualty of WW1 (not sure of the term) In his youth he was a strapping 6footer ,tall for those days, but I only remember him as an old man scared of everything and everyone,unable to speak without blowing huge bubbles of spittle out from his mouth. He was cared for by his married sisters but they were grateful for his return as the other brothers never came home.
