A day at the Rocks by Rail Museum today and preparations being made for the commemoration of VJ day where the loco Singapore will take center stage as a registered war memorial.
As my Uncle was caught up in the capture of Singapore by Japan and spent several years in Changi POW camp these events are always poignant to me. This year there will also be commemoration of all the other conflicts that the UK has been involved in since WW2 including the Falklands and Afghanistan.
Certainly at this time of issues in the World it would be good if we perhaps reflected on the costs of war to us all and seek ways to live more peacefully. A Woody thought that is unlikely to come about but we can hope!
