Letter to the Wirral Globe about the sale of the Wilfred Owen memorial Fields. 07.02.2012.

Sir,


Wilfred Owen and the millions of others whose lives were taken in WW1 and 2 died in the filth of dispute. It matters therefore that their countrymen and families should be able to remember them in the places they were born and raised before being so cruelly cut down in no-man's land, in the dirt and squalor of war.

Mr Anson (letters 18.01. 2012) thinks we could or should just nip over to the Commomwealth War Graves sites if we wish to commemorate them. What he illustrates by default is that, unlike Tranmere Rovers FC and WBC, those originally responsible for placing and maintaining the Commonwealth War Graves would not have dreamed of turning over the turf and memory of the fallen dead to turn a penny. Nor should we.



Yours,





Louise Stothard
