Ram-Alf Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I had family on both sides in WW2, I wear a Poppy with pride, Nothing to do with politics, Nowt to do with Nationalism, All to do with Remembering those that have lost their lives in battle and in the armaments factories who are often forgotten during WW1...women who were known as Canaries because of the exposure to TNT. "In July 1918 there was a devastating explosion in the mixing plant at Chilwell. 134 people died and 250 were injured by the blast that flattened much around the site. The explosion even broke windows in Long Eaton two miles away Body parts were hurled into the air and landed in farmers fields" Old Soldiers never Die just fade away...like a 5 year old Poppy 😉 ariotofmyown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
