On this, the 100th anniversity of the outbreak of the First World War, I condemn the cruel warmongers in Israel, Moscow, London, and the Pentagon, I however commemorate my grandmothers cousin Bert Howard, who grew up in poverty with his mother Hette, and disowned his not so noble father George Howard, only to die in the trenches while still a young man. I also remember my Canadian great uncle Earnest Leonard, who was grievously injured at Passchaendale, my great uncle, Engine Room Artificer Fred Foster who saved his ship at the Battle of Jutland, while several other battleships out of Devonport were destroyed, and my grandfather, Chief Engine Room Artificer First Class Emmanuel Leonard who survived Jutland only to die in 1930 in Auckland, New Zealand, while serving on the HMS Laburnum, MAY THEY REST IN PEACE AND RISE IN GLORY
