I have read enough British military history to know that the hateful (there is no other word) British government NEVER took care properly of their war veterans. Does Lloyd George´s famous sentence "A land fit for heroes" ring a bell? It is both sad and infuriating, and I am not even British. I always have a deep sympathy and respect for old soldiers, it is as simple as that. War veterans should be priority No. 1 for any decent gorvernment.

Dear Frederick Hitch - London is now majority non white.

It would be amazing to hear what these old war veterans would make of today. 👍

@@SARHistories well, firstly most immigrants have no interest in UK history or culture. So, Mr Hitch would wonder why there are people in the UK who have no recognition of the country they are in. Then maybe Mr. Hitch would wonder why these people don't speak English and then Mr. Hitch may have to physically defend himself from people who will accuse him of being a bigoted, racist and not a hero.
