The British Legion is
not just for the fallen, but also for those who are living on.
‘The fallen’ is both a euphemism and a highly emotive
phrase, and both functions are consciously overlooked in the message. This is
probably as it should be.
My daughter had a child who was stillborn. The child fell
early and was granted her very own grave, while the rest of us lived on.
What is one to make of it all?
