The Thankful Villages

** The thankful villages **
The world wars cost the UK many hundreds of thousands of lives with no part of the country untouched. But a handful of villages were still thankful.

Modestly interesting story about the "thankful villages", the small number of places in the UK with no war memorial - despite serving, no-one from these places was killed.

I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled"

AND MERRY XMAS TO ONE AND All!

About me: Being your slave, what should I do but tend
Upon the hours and times of your desire?
I have no precious time at all to spend,
Nor services to do, till you require.
