Thank you
You made a very interesting video. Thank you for uploading.
My 2x great uncle and aunt lost 3 sons in WW1, name of Speer. Their mum Hettie unveiled the memorial in Rotherhithe south London just off Jamaica road in 1921. A fourth brother was a Royal Marine survived the war and lived to be 91 passing in 1987 . R.I.P George 28, Harold 23, Joseph 20, ""Lest we Forget"" . There were a few other family's lost 5 sons .
The only sticking point I have is stating "of those brave few awarded the medal". IMO all those who died in battle were extremely brave: overcoming incredible fear to carry on to their deaths. Therefore it is better to state: "those few recognised with the award".
RIP Heroes.
Amazing family
poor parents losing three boys out of four.
You're a good presenter but you must learn to write correctly. Bradfords, please, not Bradford's. Bradford's mean 'of Bradford'. One adds the letter s to make a plural unless by doing so the word becomes intelligible.
