People talk of “barriers” or “milestones” or “tipping points” or “marks” and assign them a significance far beyond their actual worth. Hitting a century at Lord’s. Getting that telegram from the Queen. Watching the FTSE top 6000.

This is not one of those moments. Every one of those 201 servicemen was a husband, a father, a fiancee, a son, a loved one, an individual, a story, an unfinished canvas which will never again feel a paintbrush. 200 is not a milestone, it is another hammer blow to everyone who stands with our troops.

The G.O.T. has excelled himself with this video, and as you watch it either here or at his place, please take some time out of your day to think of those men and women fighting and dying at this very moment. They deserve our support.
