There Seems To Be Debated About Poppies...

[wolf63]

This is what it is all about. It is good to remember the sacrifices of past generations. WWI was to be the war to end all wars - we don't seem to have been very successful. So, we need not only to remember but we need to learn from our mistakes.

Love this song, brilliant. Joan Baez does a great version.

I love that song Wolf, and very pertinent point made. x

[Mamyalynne]

Thank you Wolf.

...and The Pogues.

[SparklyKid]

I like this one, personal choice.

[Tilly2]

Won't ask how you are, Wolf. x

We certainly do need to remember the sacrifices made and I am wearing my poppy with great pride especially in this centenary year.

(And many hugs to you, Susan. I've heard your sad news. xxx)

I often sang this and played guitar at local folk club years ago. I love this song and the sentiments.

[SparklyKid]

Like all the versions, I expect we all have our favourite versions.

[kvalidir]

This is lovely too x

Thanks for the good wishes folks. Princess Merlin may have been a pain in the **** but I loved her and she is missed. x
