Gone but not forgotton

This is with thanks (mostly to the Sun newspaper who had a couple of these people in their Saturday edition.
Walter Daniel Tull 28 April 1888 – 25 March 1918) was the first black/mixed race officer in the British Army, and the second black/mixed race player in the top division of the Football league , the Other player was Arthur Wharton of Darlington.

Then we have Oscar Linkson who played for what is now known as Barnet football club and is my local team , he died in France at the age of 28 , although his body was never recovered.

Not only have footballers died at war but cricketers have also died and this shows that wars have always touched every part of this nation.

War is not a thing we can take lightly and whatever happens people always suffer , I can not imagine today's footballers or crickets from the higher leagues going to fight in battles or wars as as I think their money would talk , more sports were touched but this is just an example of what we lost.
There was a Heart of Midlothian side and of 16 players that enlisted 7 never came back.

We have most years two days each year where we are asked to spend two minutes in silence for all the people who have lost their lives Remembrance Sunday and Remembrance Day.
These two days and just 4 minutes whilst wearing Poppy's isn't much too ask.
Remember them who gave their lives so we can live in freedom.
