I am a veteran and at this time of the year, with armistice day approaching, I pay my respect to all those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
I hope it’s ok to put this on here. It’s a video I put together back in 2018 to commemorate the end of the Great War. Myself and three other photographer’s visited the fields in Flanders and brought back many images.
In November of that same year, we held an exhibition in our town of Whitstable to commemorate Armistice day and we raised over £2000 which was donated to the Royal British Legion.
The video commemorates the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in the great war 1914-1918 and all other conflicts through out the world to this day. May they rest in peace. Lest we forget. The video also remembers the soldiers who fought on both sides of the Great war.

My grandad was in the King’s Royal Rifle Corps 1st Batt at the start of WW1, he was in the same battalion as Sam Mendes grandfather, Sam who directed the film 1917, my grandad who sadly I never met died in 1965, he also served in the Merchant Navy as a chef on Atlantic Convoys during WW2.
My father who is still with us is named after him and so is my eldest brother, my Nana sold his medals after he passed in 1965, I found them for sale last month but they are just out of my reach financially sadly.
The link is to the actual medals and why he received the DCM, lest we forget

That’s a shame. The medals should hve been passed down through the family, not sold, but on the other hand maybe your nanna needed the money. and the medals had no sentimental value to her.
My eldest brother has my father’s WW2 medal’s and will pass them on to his eldest daughter when he dies. I have copies of my father’s medals as well as my one and only medal, which I wear with pride on armistice Sunday.

My dad told me she was made to sell them by her new husband, he was a right git and I hated him, my dad’s dad used to own a cafe in Sowerby Bridge in the 60’s and divorced from my Nana when she met her 2nd husband, amazing what you learn late in life

The only medal my dad received. Around 40yrs after the Suez crisis.
Handed down to me after he passed away a few years ago.
Signed up with the RAF aged 18 , for 5 years as he was in a reserved occupation. Spent 3 yrs at RAF Deversoir at the southern end of the Suez Canal 😉
