Thank you, but how sad. You might be interested to know each year I pick 25 military people that died in WW2 in the days leading up to Christmas, this year it is 1941 (80 years) at random. Then put their names on a Christmas Remembrance tree. This then goes on display in our local church at the tree festival,pre- pandemic years we have about 13000 people visiting.
