Sir, – Regarding your emotive Generation Emigration series (Life & Culture), is it not time for us to erect a marker stone to these and all our lost generations?
May I suggest that we officially rename one of our many bank holidays – perhaps that in June or in August – as Emigrants’ Day? Such a small gesture, it would require so little in cost terms – ideally supported by communications companies – and stand as a call to all our family abroad that they are always in our minds.
Theirs is a sacrifice too great to be forgotten. – Yours, etc,
