Today is Remembrance Sunday when the nation remembers its war dead. My family and I remember my Great Grandfather who survived being gassed in the trenches of the First World War and who later died as a result of those injuries during the Second World War. We also remember my Great Uncles who did not return home to east London from the First World War trenches.
