TONIGHT'S UPDATE IS VERY SIMPLE.
Just a video based on Eric Gardiner and James Cole, two of the Wisbech
men who died in the Great War, and whose stories were told in earlier
blogs. The music is a lovely old hymn called 'Only Remembered'. The
words were written by Horatius Bonar , an Edinburgh man, and the tune
was composed in 1891 by the great American hymn writer, Ira D. Sankey.
The hymn has been used in an episode of 'Sharpe' - the one where he goes
back to Yorkshire, and meets his long lost brother - and also in the
stage version of 'Warhorse'.
I'm still here, still ranting about things, but not quite an Angry Young Man. That's a bit hard at the age of 72, but the fire still burns ....
