One of the last British Tommy’s of the Great War dies!

One of the last British Tommy’s of the Great War dies! There is only a handful left. They went to fight for their King and country and their mates, pals, wives and sweet hearts. Just over twenty years later their younger brothers and sons had to finish the job with Nazi Germany and her allies, for what!

“In 1914 Alfred Anderson witnessed one of the First World War's most remarkable events. The last soldier to have served during the first world war's Christmas truce in 1914 died peacefully in his sleep yesterday aged 109.
Alfred Anderson, who was also the oldest man in Scotland, died at a care home in Angus, bringing to an end a life which spanned three centuries and marking the end of a generation who were witness to one of the most remarkable events of the great war. Mr Anderson fought with the 5th Battalion the Black Watch and was the last surviving veteran to have served during the 1914 truce. There are now believed to be only eight survivors of the first world war left in Britain.
The former soldier was 18 when he was sent to the western front. Although he was stationed back from the frontlines when the truce broke out, he remembered the silence of temporary peace and shouting out "Merry Christmas" when he and his friends first heard it.
Announcing his death yesterday, the Rev Neil Gardner, minister at his church in Alyth, Perthshire, said: "He was Scotland's oldest man but he remained lucid almost until the end. He was a very gracious and unassuming man. He ... lived a truly remarkable life."
Shortly after dawn on Christmas Day 1914, the sound of Silent Night, or Stille Nacht, was heard from behind German lines. As the carol ended, a German soldier appeared in no-man's land. "Merry Christmas. We not shoot. You not shoot," he is reported to have said. It was the beginning of an unauthorised truce that would gradually spread across the 500-mile front, where more than a million men were stationed. Soldiers from both sides shook hands, sang carols and played football. In some parts the ceasefire lasted for weeks, but Mr Anderson heard gunfire by afternoon.
Lieutenant Colonel Roddy Riddell, regimental secretary of the Black Watch, said the death of Mr Anderson, whose funeral is expected to take place on Friday, was the "end of an epoch". In 1998, Mr Anderson was awarded France's highest honour, the Légion d'Honneur, for his services during the first world war. In interviews, he said he never forgot the trenches. "I saw so much horror," he told the Observer last year. "I lost so many friends."
Jack McConnell, Scotland's first minister, said the sacrifices that Mr Anderson and his generation of young Scottish men made and the horrors they endured must never be forgotten.”

Donkeys are still leading us!
Blair and co-conspirators most British MPs are determined to wipe out the British, (Scottish, Welsh and Irish) But especially the English through mass immigration and phoney asylum seekers. In fifty to a hundred years time there could be memorials in towns and villages on par with the Great War, if we don’t try and turn the clock back. The plaques then would probably say something like commemorating Henry Smith the last white man to reside at such and such a place and I’m not joking just look at what is happening to poor old London. Where have all the Cockneys gone! What’s that, no such thing as White Flight! If you are white and British you can no longer afford to sit on the fence. If you don’t value your racial heritage, culture and history just carry on doing nothing! But if you do, vote BNP next time around. The Romans also had an Empire but did not invite the whole world to set up shop there! The only way you got to see the sights was as a slave or gladiator. The Barbarians are now again at our door and have kicked it wide open, what are you Britons doing about it? (Is there a King Arthur out there to save us?) Why are many of you turning a blind eye with your head in the ground like an ostrich, when are you going to start standing up to be counted!

During the recent November Armistice Day commemorations of those who fell fighting to defend this country during two world wars and other conflicts since, I did not see one new Briton wearing a red poppy here! The government is lousy in promoting what the so-called new Britons should be acknowledging, the sacrifices that our parents and grandparents laid down for future generations! Soldiers of the British Army from WW1 were often referred to as the ‘Old Contemptables’ because of the resistances they put up against the Germans. Today’s indigenous Brits are just as expendable as the Lions led by donkeys! (We will go down in history as the expendables!) They want to wipe the British out, when the fuck are you indigenous Brits going to show some gumption and show some political resistance, you are not being asked to raise your heads over the top of a trench to have it picked off by a sniper, you are not being asked to charge a well fortified German trench protected by barbed wire and cut down by deadly machine gun fire. You are not being asked to withstand non stop barrage of heavy field guns that could shatter your nerves and end up with you being shot at dawn! Was all our servicemen’s sacrifices in vain? We are heading towards hotchpotch violent nation of many different races invited here by traitors without a shot being fired in defence!
