Bill McClintock, from the Combined Services Organisation, arranged the service and said people still admired the courage of Edith Cavell.

No Sh*t ! , this woman had ten times more guts and courage than at least 90% of the males that were born in the last 20 years. We are quickly becoming a soft nation. :mad:

I dread to think what state our Country will be in in 20 years from now ?
