Was anyone else moved by the sight of the young men, dressed as WW1 soldiers, marching through various towns and cities yesterday? |

I thought it was wonderful. Both our grandfathers fought in this war, one survived, the other didn't, so it was a poignant reminder of what happened all those years ago. |

It was very impressive and very thought provoking. I didn't realise they handed out cards with a soldier's name on it. What a great idea. |

I feel the 'ghost' soldiers really brought home the huge losses In WW1. |

I too thought the ghost soldiers very moving, my father was in that terrible war, he was gassed and sent home, I remember him saying "I would have been better if I had been killed " |

The grandson of Ros from Glasgow played one of the Ghost soldiers, it must have been an honour for him. |
