Hi Ron... Lovely to hear from you mate. One thing is for sure, NO Veteran will be able to convey to those that have not been in action.... The absolute comfort, and the feeling of well being, that a dirty and hastily dug fox hole can give you. Specially when the mortars and shells are coming down.
Nor how it keeps calling you back..... when you have to get out ..... There's always another river, another canal to cross. Another minefield to lay, out in front of the leading troops, another assault.
The dirty dogs got me twice. So NO! I have wish to be friends, Its bad enough having to carry a bit of their shrapnel around in my skull...For all of my days....
Or to set off the metal alarms in Airports, because of the metal inside they used to put me back together.
Great stuff.. for while my Vet mates are popping off right left and center, here am I in my eighties going like a good un.
NAH I don't want to make friends with the SS. Not me matey. Not my kind of company/
Sapper
