Sir – I found reading your newspaper extremely emotional, from the photograph of Fred Carter on the front page and Laurence Robert Binyon’s 1914 poem For The Fallen to the photograph of the giant poppy from one of your readers and Lt/Col Simon Banton in the First Person colume.

Please can you do more First Persons from the Mercian regiment, they are all so very special and they are all in our thoughts everyday. We are extremely proud of them all.
