THEY CAME FROM EVERY CORNER OF THESE ISLANDS 🏴🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧
In the First World War, brave men answered the call from the four corners of these islands.
From the Highlands to the Lowlands.
From East to West.
From the Scottish Borders into Cumbria and Northumberland.
From Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee and Aberdeen.
From Cardiff, Swansea and Newport.
From Belfast, Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway.
From Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds and Sheffield.
From London, Birmingham, Bristol and Nottingham.
From Newcastle, Sunderland, Hull and Middlesbrough.
From Plymouth, Portsmouth, Southampton and Exeter.
Men from cities, towns, villages, farms, fishing communities and mining communities stood together.
They wore different regimental badges. They spoke with different accents. They came from different walks of life.
But when their country called, they stood together.
They crossed the Channel and travelled across the world to defend their families, their homes and the freedoms they believed were worth fighting for.
They were Scots. Irish. Welsh. English - British.
Above all, they were brothers in arms.
More than a century later, we should remember not only where they came from — but how they came together.
