Totally chilling I agree, especially when you realise the average age of the boys is 19. Should be a required school visit, then we wouldn't get all the silly questions about the relevance of poppies on this site. Have you been to the landing beaches in France and to the museum at Arromanche, We went last year, I sobbed for an hour when I realised what those men were up against. We also went to Pegasus Bridge and stood by where the first man on the bridge was killed. It gave me goosebumps.
