Remembering 'Old Latins'

Julie and I attended the Service of Remembrance at the Royal Latin School this morning. All the school students were present along with many members of the local community and the Royal British Legion. I sat next to a man of 94, a former pupil and veteran of the Second World War. He flew planes over Burma. It was a solemn event, paying tribute to all the former pupils of the school who had died in the First and Second World Wars. Headmaster David Hudson emphasised the need to remember the sacrifice of all those people who died or who were injured as a consequence of war, including civilians too.
