Armistice Day-Lest We Forget!-11 th Nov.

Very interesting - the celebration of the end of the „War to end all wars“.
I recently watched the very good movie „All Quiet on the Western Front“ that offered some insight into the actions behind the scenes of the armistice negotiations.
As we all found out some decades later, the part about „ending all wars“ was unfortunately not correct.

Today it's more about not forgetting all of those including animals, who lost their lives. Hence, lest not forget.

We tend to remember animals who heroically lost their lives by being shot, blasted or gassed in the trenches, but not those who get shot or gassed in slaughterhouses. Those are just „business as usual“
Speak for others. I think of them every single day.
Unfortunately, I am speaking here for 95% of the „General Public“ with this comment.

Animals have played a significant role in war throughout history. They have been used for transportation, communication, and even combat. Horses, dogs, pigeons, and camels are just a few examples of the many animals that have served in wars. These animals have made important contributions to the war effort and have often sacrificed their lives in service to their human counterparts. It's important to remember and honour their service and sacrifice.

This will haunt me forever; animals that suffered and died in the name of peace. They were given no choice and were used to perform the most horrendous tasks in fear. They had no way or right to complain and their lives were ended and for most of us, forgotten.
It symbolises all animals who have served and/or died during conflict. It is estimated that more than 8 million animals sacrificed their lives in World War I alone. As a way to commemorate the animals that have served and those that continue to, you can wear a purple poppy.
