They were just children

I spent Armistice Sunday in Huddersfield where my very gifted cousin Lorna sang Britten's War Requiem with the Huddersfield Choral Society.

It was an exhaustingly moving day in many ways.

Her husband Chris and I had our two minutes silence at home as she rehearsed then went down to the war memorial where we saw these cadets.

If you haven't heard it before I suggest you hear this piece of music live as it unfolds like an audible painting in front of you. I was deeply moved.

There is a theory that Coventry was sacrificed because Churchill didn't want the Nazi's to know we had broken the Enigma Code and new their plans.
