Thanks Colin just read the thread and think this is the usual conflict between Stitcher and Frothblower. Personally I couldn't understand Stitchers point but anyway it has no place on the thread.

Chris, Following discussion with the moderating team, I removed all irrelevant posts from the thread, the original subject was relating to a recruiting parade in WW1, not modern history, which has now got out of hand with personal comments been made against another members.
I'm afraid that any post which cause concern to other members will be removed by the moderating team.
if you consider this decision to be wrong please contact Postie (Jim)

Frankly, I have not seen any posts that are irrelevant on this thread. One sentiment was taken inncorrectly by some...but, in the aftermath of two world wars, it was a sentiment that was held by many to be valid. It did not reflect and does not, on the bravery of the men that faught...volunteers and conscripts and regulars. I think that in this day and age, what was happening in that picture would never occur and armies are made up of regular proffesional soldiers who are highly trained. Any war serious enough to require more than this would be over before a parade could be organised. No doubt there were Corporation Street type parades being held for the enemy also and most of them also would have never been close to a gun in their lives before. The sentiment in question merely pointed out that a very large proportion in parades on both sides...would never be seen again.
