RE: Hidden History: The Sinking Of The Lancastria, A True Story Told Through The Eyes Of My Grandad

in #history7 years ago

Mate, that is a great post and a great way to immortalise your Grandfathers story on to the Blockchain.
So many stories are being forgotten as those involved pass on.
My family has its own horror stories revolving around the warfare we've been dragged into over the past century.
Their generation understood the futility of war hopefully stories such as these can be used as guidance to those who seek to perpetuate the fighting. It's such a terrible waste.

Hey my friend, Thank you for the support and great comment! I just wanted to hold it here and then if over the years people stumble across it then it's a story that will continue to live.

Yes there are so many stories to tell my friend and much bravery in the roots of many of our families, indeed roots that run deep. They really were a special generation and the last in a dying breed, strong, self reliant and with a sense of justice a mile wide. Sadly as time moves on I fear people forget and with forgetting we become doomed to walk the perpetual cycle of war & peace. Thanks again @tremendospercy
