Forget me not

I suppose it is poignant today, that I use a phrase that typifies communication and was used in the Trenches.
The story goes that a message was sent down the trenches , being passed by word of mouth from soldier to soldier. The message was........ 'Send reinforcements we are going to advance'
By the time it passed down the line to the 100th soldier, he reported to his Commander, stood to attention and relayed.
'Send three and fourpence, we are going to a dance'

Now the same sort of thing happened last night at the Concert. It was a small Band gig with only 4 sax's...however 5 turned up!!!
It was a remembrance Concert in Dinner Jacket, however one of our guys turned up in full American Uniform!!!!!!!! No change in over 60 years then!!!
