the elephant in the room is ....
Irish serving the King is still a political hot potato in Ireland

whilst we celebrate Irish bravery, I seem to be the only one to notice that - - tomorrow is the anniversary of the Easter Rising 1917
which for walk-ins and foreigners, and some on AB, definitely did NOT involve supporting King George.

the irony is not lost on me

A few errors in that, PP. The Easter Rising was in 1916, not 1917 and it began on 24th April, the day after Easter Sunday.

As it has a known period, I would have thought that those commemorating it would use the actual dates rather than religious dates but it appears they don't.

My grandfather was in the Royal Dublin Fusiliers. He was "fortunate" that he had half of his arm shot away and was invalided out. He later lost his eldest son in WW2. Sad times.
I don't believe all the gubbins about todays' young generation.
There are lots of fantastic youngsters out there but people only want to believe what they see and read in the media. What about your children and grandchildren? That's who we're talking about isn't it? It's only the bad stuff that gets publicised. One 15 year old girl I know has just raise £320 for Domestic Violence UK, something she started before Sarah Everard went missing, so that wasn't an initial factor. We do shake our heads lots of times at young people, but then look how they turn out. One youngster I know was the most timid child you could imagine, he really was. He is now 25 years old and a theatre nurse taking part in the most delicate procedures. You just don't know how youngsters will develop. I would suggest that in most cases, they end up surprising people with their acheivments, and should the need ever arise, the vast majority would be willing to serve their country.
