Title: Old Sod's Army-Harry Billinge
Post by: bog on November 08, 2019, 08:56:59 AM
Did anyone see the interview with old soldier Harry Billinge this morning on the BBC? This was the most emotional one I have ever seen, Harry spoke so movingly of his fallen comrades. What a man. Thanks Harry.

A different kind of human being.

Fabulous man, incredibly sharp for 90 and still working so hard for his fallen comrades.

I am so proud of those from the two world wars. I wonder if I would have coped like they did. How lucky I have been to have been born when I was.

No we mustn't. I read some b***** idiot said that in schools they should not 'over do' the history of this... **** off!
