Still Waters Posted July 28, 2013 #1 Share Posted July 28, 2013 A pair of motorcyclists have set off to visit every village in Britain where its soldiers all survived World War I. There are just 51 so-called 'Thankful Villages' that witnessed their servicemen all return safely. Three of the villages are in Wales, which is where the nine-day tour began on Saturday at Llanfihangel y Creuddyn near Aberystwyth. The 'Thankful Villages Run' hopes to raise £51,000 for the Royal British Legion. http://www.bbc.co.uk...-wales-23470846 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+and-then Posted July 29, 2013 #3 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Considering the absolute mindless carnage of that particular war it is amazing that there were that many villages which could boast such returns! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
