Sadly its nothing new

In the early 90’s I worked for Leeds city councils Anti graffiti unit and we had a contract for the War Graves Commission to clean Memorials, Graves etc and the things we found written on some made me sick to the core. Harehills Cemetery which I admit is not in the nicest of areas contains the War Grave of a German from WW1 and we arrived one day to find it daubed in SS symbols not just vandalism but ignorance on a huge scale. My view is this it says on the side of most war Memorials LEST WE FORGET but sadly this is what is happening. The PC brigade re writing history means many of todays children have no idea of the sacrifices made in the last century. I worked as a CI at RAF Church Fenton with the Air Cadets teaching Aircraft Modeling and showed the cadets my Model of Gibson’s Beaufighter “who was he” said one cadet “the Leader of the Dambusters raid” said I. It turned out only 2 cadets had ever heard of it. If you get this from members of an organisation such as this what hope is there.
