Every year, I get a similar question, and so I thought that I would explain why we have these new images on the boards. Some people wonder if I have decided to ally myself with a doll manufacturer or girls toy enterprise... this is not the case... yet! As we approach 11th November, we arrive at Remembrance Sunday. For those unaware, it signifies the anniversary of the end of the First World War, and is now taken as in international day of memory and thanks for all those who have fought in all wars, although this particular date and custom appears strongest here in the UK. I choose to mark this event on this site. This is the only official event that this site marks. I dont want to get into political debates, and I dont want to open the doors to many other, equally deserving, events. I chose to mark this event in respect of all people, from all nationalities and backgrounds, who have fought, and in many cases sacrificed, for the principles that they believe in, and the world that we live in, no matter what side they were on. I strongly believe that, as members of a hobby closely related to these events, we have a responsibility not to take this for granted, and to remember. In addition this year, feel free to make any personal dedications or remberances. Thank you. Iain |

In remembrance of my maternal grandparents who fled Germany in 1939 to escape persecution. An my paternal grandfather who fought in WWII from 1942-1945 to liberate the persecuted. |

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. |
