nthornton1979 Posted 26 April , 2016 Share Posted 26 April , 2016 Is this actually for real? Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Broomfield Posted 26 April , 2016 Share Posted 26 April , 2016 Sadly, yes. It has been discussed elsewhere on the Forum. I think it's mawkish nonsense; however, I am thoroughly going to enjoy the reaction in the Quiet Carriage of the 0708 Southampton Airport Parkway to London Waterloo service.

nthornton1979 Posted 26 April , 2016 Author Share Posted 26 April , 2016 Ah, sorry Steven (et al), I missed the previous mention on here. I wish I'd thought of it. I could even have done a few 'keepy-up's' with a football at the local cenotaph for the Loos centenary. Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamRev Posted 26 April , 2016 Share Posted 26 April , 2016 I posted about it HERE three weeks ago. I must confess that I am now rather less keen than I was then. William Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nthornton1979 Posted 26 April , 2016 Author Share Posted 26 April , 2016 Cheers William, I should have checked before posting. It's not something I would personally want to do but each to their own. Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khaki Posted 26 April , 2016 Share Posted 26 April , 2016 I don't think I would take a original whistle onto a battlefield, in case some well meaning guardian who didn't know the difference, accused me of removing a battlefield relic. khaki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrel Posted 27 April , 2016 Share Posted 27 April , 2016 Post #2. I agree that this is mawkish nonsense and I wonder at the thought process behind the decision of the WFA to promote it. Two minutes spent in silent remembrance at a local or nearby war memorial would be far more respectful and dignified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
