In Slops' absence, we normally remember our fallen on Xmas Day by way of a toast at 2 or 3pm, can't remember which but whenever it is, lest we forget.

Thats 2500hrs army time, or if your watch was made by zulus or abbo fellas instead of god fearing Swiss born Jappos.

We will always remember them. I lost a mate in '72, I got home for xmas but he did not so for many years it has been difficult for me and I only managed because of the kids. Then I found NIVA and learned how to remember and still enjoy Christmas. It is all about the larger family that we make up here.
