DOCTOR WHO | 2.08

But then you're clever enough to use this whole system against me. If I destroy this planet, I destroy the gravity field. The rocket. The rocket loses protection and falls into the black hole. I'll have to sacrifice Rose.

An ex-comrade in arms from my former regiment forwarded me this video. It’s been doing the rounds amongst veterans. It doesn’t need any explanation.

Lest we forget...

It's nine minutes after midnight on the 27th of January where I am. The International Day for the Recognition of the Holocaust. The 79th Anniversary of the Liberation of Auschwitz.

How many of my fellow goyim will treat this day with the respect it deserves? 6 Million Jews & 6 Million others died in the Holocaust. How many will pay respect to those who died? How many even remember what today is & how many who do know will ignore it?

June 30th, 1914, was the final day of a goodwill visit by the Royal Navy to Kiel, Germany’s principal Baltic naval base, having arrived on June 23rd. The squadron included battleships Ajax, King George V, Audacious, and several light cruisers.

The Kaiser paraded in his Royal Navy Admiral’s uniform (a title courtesy of Queen Victoria), and British and German sailors mingled and entertained each other drinking, dancing and boxing. It was reported that the assassinations of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife, Countess Sophie Chotek, in Sarajevo, dampened the joyous mood a little, but did not ultimately undermine what was described by an American correspondent as an 'Anglo German love-feast’.

Not everyone was totally caught up in the festivities. A senior RN officer, Captain Henderson, found an imaginative way to report on the state of Germany’s naval preparedness, and that Britain's dominance of the high seas was under significant threat.

"...I think it would not be out of place here, to call your attention to the striking progress made by the German Navy in sports and games. Speaking generally, our men were entirely outclassed in all the usual sports, running, jumping, and in the tug-of war, the Germans simply walked away with it. The Germans have systematically invaded what we have hitherto regarded as our natural preserve…the world of sport..."

As the RN squadron departed, a German Admiral sent, 'Best wishes for a pleasant journey’, to which the British commanding officer responded with thanks and the reply, 'Comrades in the past, and always'.

All the people of all the nations which had fought in the First World War were silent during the eleventh minute of the eleventh hour of Armistice Day, which was the eleventh day of the eleventh month. It was during that minute in nineteen hundred and eighteen, that millions upon millions of human beings stopped butchering one another. I have talked to old men who were on battlefields during that minute. They have told me in one way or another that the sudden silence was the Voice of God. So we still have among us some men who can remember when God spoke clearly to mankind.

- Kurt Vonnegut

11th November 1918. General Weygand, Admiral Wemyss and Marshall Foch after signing the armistice. The ceremony was carried out in a railway car. The actual armistice was signed at 5:12 - 5:20 AM. This photograph taken at 7.30am moments before Marshal Foch departed for Paris to hand the Armstice to the French Government.

Happy Armistice Day!!! I haven't drawn much recently- been dealing with artblock. But I did manage to draw our Little Treasure celebrating the Centennial end of the War To End All Wars. Isn't he handsome in his poppies? The girls who know, know.

I did use a brush for his wreath because drawing a million flowers by hand was- too much for me this time LOL. Enjoy this small offering. I shall return with more art soon.
