Jim Rickards Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #1 · Legion men are so distinguished I shot this one this morning just before the Remembrance Day service. I am always impressed with the distinguished look of the men from the Legion and this guy is a typical example. He was the Master of Ceremonies and did a good job of it too. Canon EOS 20D 1/125s f/5.6 at 85.0mm iso200 These are probably not the settings I "should" have used. Nov 11, 2008 at 08:14 PM

Jim Rickards Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #5 · Legion men are so distinguished Looks good, Steve. His attention to the camera makes this one interesting. He is wearing Medical Corp insignia. Anyone else shoot a pic of Remembrance Day/Veterans Day? Post them here if you want. Spyros - thanks. Always good to hear from you. Steady - He likely has quite a few stories. Maybe I should seek him out. Nov 11, 2008 at 09:36 PM

liamh Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #10 · Legion men are so distinguished He does look distinguished and calm too. I had to explain what Remembrance Day is to my assistant yesterday, so thanks for posting this one! Nov 12, 2008 at 03:29 AM

Paul Bottomley Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #11 · Legion men are so distinguished I think it's wonderful to document these brave men and women. I used to call my grandfather every year on Remembrance Day and thank him for what he did even though I would never to be able to understand it. He never talked much about the war as he said it was so terrible that the details were more than he wanted to remember. My wife makes a point to call her grandfather every year as well. He waits around the phone until she does as he knowing that she will call. I know it means a lot to him He was at Normandy and lost many many friends. He often contemplates how/why he survived and I know it troubles him to this day. I will say that I have yet to meet a more kind and gentle man than he. Distinguished only begins to describe him both in stature and character. Thanks for the posts Nov 12, 2008 at 04:08 AM

paulhodson Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #12 · Legion men are so distinguished I don't know if you saw it in the US but we had our only three surviving veterans from the first World War (aged 108,110 and 112) laying wreaths at the Cenotaph in London. Three fine men from a generation soon to be no more and strangely each represented a different service, army, air and navy. Nov 12, 2008 at 07:26 AM

We keep track of our oldest here in Canada too. Our last survivor is 108 if I recall correctly. Thanks for the compliment in your previous post, Paul. Nov 12, 2008 at 12:37 PM
