In another life, I coached the talented group wearing black and white. Each and every one of this special group will always be in my memories of Dhekelia Youth Centre FC (not forgetting the stars not in the photograph) Area 2 Dhekeilia Garrison

Whatever happened to you all ? Please drop me a DM and let me know what you and the rest of the team have done since 2001/2

Awesome days that will never be forgotten

German workers pose with downed British Spitfire P9374 near Calais, France in 1940. It was brought down over the coast, and its pilot, Flying Officer Peter Cazenove, carried out a perfect belly landing on the beach near Calais, radioing back "Tell mother I’ll be home for tea!. Cazenove participated in holding off German forces around Calais before he was captured as a POW. He was kept at Stalag Luft III, participating in the historic events of "Great Escape", although he was unable to escape himself. His Spitfire remained in the same location until the 1980s. It was recovered, and eventually restored to flying condition in 2011.

The photograph on this post is the coffin of the Unknown Warrior in state in the Abbey, London, in 1920. I found it very moving that guests of honour were a group of about one hundred women. They had been chosen because they had each lost their husband and all their sons in the war - "Every woman so bereft who applied for a place got it".

The guard of honour were 100 holders of the Victoria Cross from all three services. Most likely the greatest number of Victoria Cross recipients to be at the one place at the same time.

The Unknown Warrior was buried in Westminster Abbey, London on the 11th of November 1920, simultaneously with a similar interment of a French unknown soldier at the Arc de Triomphe in France.

The coffin was interred in soil brought from each of the main battlefields and covered with a silk pall.

On the 17th of October 1921, the unknown warrior was given the United States' highest award for valour, the Medal of Honor. It hangs on a pillar close to the tomb. On the 11th of November 1921, the American Unknown Soldier was reciprocally awarded the Victoria Cross.

Lest We Forget.
