The last 5 years I haven’t or certainly can’t remember much about remembrance. Through most last posts, national anthems or hymns, we are providing the first aid cover at the Gloucester Cenotaph and most years we are dealing with a number of medical issues including fainting, cardiac arrests, diabetic issues, head injuries etc. When others are remembering we are usually on our hands and knees helping people but we do remember and we do recognise that ultimate sacrifice, just not always in the conventional way.
