The
BBC reports about a British woman who discovered some
amateur movie footage shot by her grandfather while he was as a Spitfire pilot in the RAF during World War II. As we approach Veterans' Day (a/k/a Armistice Day or Rememberance Day) on November 11, this seemed like an appropriate item to post. Note that the British historian interviewed in the piece is wearing his red, Rememberence Day poppy on his lapel. Although the UK maintains that tradition, it was an
American woman who actually started it.
