So pleased to see this post, along with the few of us in blogdom who've chosen to remember rather than forget!
I wrote a tribute poem.

Three brothers volunteered for WWI. One lied about his age and he was the only one of the three to come back. He was my grandfather. It makes you think, doesn't it?
