As it is the Centenary of the end of WW1.
You could research why,how and where, so many medals were won by the men from "the Torr" a tiny place in New Mills.
There is a plaque about this ,set in a wall,opposite the larger of the carparks.
I wonder if the huge loss of life,was made bearable by the fact that families were large and to a lesser degree the same in WW2.
I feel that if a large conflict were to break out, the small families of today would not recover.
