Josh aka Spike Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Hello Everyone So now we are heading closer to the end of the month and nearly in October. I am appealing to those in this community that make incredible props for something special. On the 11/11/18 it will be 100 years since the guns fell silent on the western front during the First World War. The end of a bloody 4 year war that killed millions and brought the collapse of monarch's and empires, forever changing the world and moving us to the modern age. The symbol of remembrance used in the commonwealth nations is the poppy. The only flower that would grow on those warn-torn fields between the shell craters and bodies. Originally to remember those that served, injured or killed during the First World War. Now symbolizes those that served in many wars throughout past 200 years including; World War 2, Korean War, North Ireland, Falkland war and many other conflicts involving Commonwealth nations. I make this appeal so early to give you guys enough time to build. As a lover of history and long family history in the military, this is something I am passionate about. I am planning on making a small service on 11/11/18 to commemorate this special date. I would like the community to help me and create props to use during the service to show respect to service men and women that are serving or have served including those from; UK, USA, Australia, Canada and New Zealand. If you are interested in this small project and would like to help, feel free to respond to this post or send a message on the forums or come see me on the TS! You don't have to make a prop, simply sharing family stories of the war or your own unique way of remembrance is encouraged. This event will be held in-game and anyone is welcome to come along, although this event will not be very long. It will include last letters of soldiers killed in war, poems, songs, history and a 2 minute silence. More details will be published at a later date in this post, including whether to repeat the event later in the day for US people.

Will Newel Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 As someone that has always participated in memorials on November 11th as a Airforce Cadet, it is truely a special day in my heart. My grandfather from my dads side was a RAF mechanic based in RAF Filton during the war and from my moms side, my great grandfather was a flight trainer at RCAF Stanley. I’ll definitely show up and I hope this gets taken seriously. Without the hero’s of the Second World War, we would be under a terrible and inhumaine Reich of Hitler.

Josh aka Spike Posted September 26, 2018 Author Share Posted September 26, 2018 Only a few days after this appeal, I have been amazed at some things people have created. Something truly special is this creation by Bob Bob: Truly incredible work by @-Unknown- I hope this inspires others! If you like to help out feel free to contact me and create your own ways of remember those that served and died for our freedoms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
