Too little, too late

David Davis

(And here’s what we said about a year ago, about  a call for “Poles to Join British Army”. Sounds good to me.)

Not many people left alive now, who remember what this was all about. Probably the same applies in Germany, to the matter of this particular epic confrontation and its symbolic significance: so the entire event, within its historical context, will pass just like WW1 out of living memory and into legend.

Perhaps I’ll have to put him on the banner above (since he’s white, dead and famous) after that one’s come down.

  1. When I was still considering becoming an officer in the British Army. I had dreamt of being put in charge of establishing a Polish Legion/Regiment in Britain. Though the more I think about it now the more the dream becomes slightly silly (for various unmentionable reasons).
