WHILE I in no way condone vandalism, may I just say that the graffiti on the cenotaph (Daily Echo, November 5) is not a swastika, but a “sanskrit well being” one of man’s oldest symbolic devices found in almost every part of the world for hundreds of years.
The Sanskrit is thus, the crosses to the left, the swastika is a German version of the Nazi party with the crosses to the right side.
But in no way does this excuse the vandalism of our cenotaph.
