Steve

The poppy wearing and rememberances used to be quite common when I grew up in Johannesburg, but I have not seen a poppy sold for years now.

My old high school, Jeppe Boys in Kensington still holds a service on the 11th November each year and it culminates in the sun shining through a dome at the library at exactly 11am and shing on a plaque with the names of the school's fallen.

The main school's main gates memorials to two fallen, D. Dashwood and F. von Linsingen and the secondary gates are also named for one of the school's fallen teachers, Neville Rankin.

In all there are 35 names on the Roll of Honour for the First World War, and 133 names on the Roll of Honour for the Second World War.(170 staff and old boys lost their lives in the two World Wars and the border conflict)

One hopes these traditions still mean something to the current crop of students?

I hunt because I am human, so hunting is an expression of my humanity.
