Chickendoodle Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Heard this on the Alan Titchmarsh show yesterday - made me cry - it is the last letter of a soldier killed in Afghanistan set to music Truly beautiful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsylabrador Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I haven't seen it yet, I don't dare. I would never have been able to do anything lovely with my son's letters home. They were full of swear words and tales of derring do, and he would always nag his younger brothers, making sure they were working hard, requests for socks and food and books. Nothing beautiful. Think I'll have a stiff drink before I check that out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirl Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 My son hasn't got that far yet (he's still in basic training) but I can't imagine him writing anything so lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Licken Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 An eloquent tribute to Tony Downes. I think their sacrifice sholn't go unnoticed and I hope this does really well and the money it makes goes to a good cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsylabrador Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 It makes me sad to view these modern letters alongside ones from WW1, the lads are the same, just the war is different. Although, it's the same fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
