It's been a while since the last one of these, so I thought it must be time for a Rusty Usky special.

While away recently I stopped to read the names on a small village war memorial. I was struck by the fact there were less than twenty names listed, but found myself with tears in my eyes when I realised five names were from the same family.

How devastating the losses must have been for those left at home?

How terrible for any parent to lose son after son in such senseless waste?

I wonder whether the family name lives on; I hope so...

I wonder where they're going, don't you?
