| How Old?
Just 19.
A bit different now sadly! Firstly, Let me send my very best and sincere wishes to all our Veterans.
I heard somewhere that we were the greatest generation.
This is a very interesting thread. For it has the quality of "What might have been" How different would my life have been? But for that moment at one in the morning on the Overloon Venraij road in the Autumn of 1944?
Where would I have gone? Would I have been good enough to play professional cricket? I shall never know.
What I do know, is that I am very severely wounded with the rare exceptional injuries classing.
So why should I want to make friends with the enemy? Not me Matey! The enemy took my youth away, And led me to a life of pain.
I am not complaining, I would do it again...Every time.
