Johnnie sees a Plaque
One Sunday morning, the Vicar noticed little Johnnie was staring up at the large memorial plaque that hung just inside the large wooden doors of the church, It was covered with names, and regimental flags were mounted on either side of it.
As he'd had been staring at the plaque for some time, the vicar walked up, put his hand on his shoulder, and said quietly, "Good morning Johnnie."
"Good morning father," Johnnie said, not taking his eyes off the plaque. "What is this?" he asked.
"Well, Johnnie, it's a memorial to all the young men and women who died in the service."
Solemnly, they stood together and stared at the large plaque. Little Johnnie's voice was barely audible when he asked, "Which one, father? The morning or evening service?"
