A touching tribute to all those who survive barbaric warfare. As an adoptee I am particularly moved and think of those unable to trace family history. So many people (adoptees like myself) are without that vital piece of their jigsaw. I'm lucky though as reconnected with my mother and sister so can finally get started on my family tree. I'm touched too by your reference to Thessalonkia as the verses of the anti-recruiting song #Salonika were collected by my cousin Mick Murphy of Stoker's Lodge & Jimmy Crowley ('The Boys of Fair Hill' fame) from my granny (albeit adopted granny) Helena Ronayne.www.facebook.com/learntogardenlearntogrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07577582648390352784noreply@blogger.com
