• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler
    Owner, jackarmy.net

We’ve just come home from visiting my eldest son and his family complete with new baby 🤗
Our 3 year old granddaughter took a fancy to my Remembrance Day poppy so I told her she could keep it, and the next day my son told us that there was something waiting at the house for us. It was this :

Without telling anyone, she drew, coloured and cut out the poppy and gave it to us to replace the one I gave her.
It’s no wonder I think she is special. 🥰

Nice that Dicky, what really upsets us around this time, is when we think of my wife's great great uncle, who is buried in Northern France, he was 19, I think when he lost his life in WW1. And to think he has never been visited by any family in all this time, we've talked about going over a few times to see his grave and pay our respects, but never got round to it, hopefully one day we will.
RIP 😔
 
I went to Vimy Ridge when I was 13. It was eerie and a real eye opener.
War poetry was part of my GCSE English literature syllabus and I wish I'd been more wiser then to have understood and remembered more.
