All of course for the greater glory.<br /><br />One of the several extensively decorated war heroes among my erstwhile high school classmates shared this, a moment ago:<br /><br />“When a Soldier Gets To Heaven,<br />To Saint Peter He Will Tell;<br />One More Reporting Sir,<br />I’ve Served My Time In Hell”<br /><br />And here I could never so much as properly clean my buttons and brass. No. Better to have gone off and taken one's chances in the less bloody colonies.TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-91948598008143137462015-11-11T10:43:52.955-08:002015-11-11T10:43:52.955-08:00My dear Mr TPW,

There's much in present-day Ireland that hasn't changed much since these pictures were taken.
