| I do find some of the postings irksome, in that young people write sometimes with such conviction, with a refusal to listen to those who experienced those days of long ago.
Here I must repeat what I have hammered on about so many times before..The only reason that I write, talk. give lectures, is that my long lost mates and friends will be remembered,,,I have no personal axe to grind..Only that the truth be known..I have made this statement over and over, till I am blue in the face.
For truth has suffered greatly over the last 60 years. We have Authors writing the history of this, and the history of that, each one quoting from others writings.
Often garbled and totally untrue. To illustrate; one author wrote about D day, he had the Canadians landing on Sword. There was no mention at all of Third British infantry...They did not exist. The whole book was a jumble of rubbish really with not an iota of what really happened.
And so these writings are constantly quoted as genuine history..Much of that is twisted and bent out of all recognition by a torrent of Hollywood films and documentaries, many of them revealing the directors personal prejudices.
With all that in mind, I am quite saddened that the real men that gave so much have become "Nothing" Those that sacrificed so much for the cause of freedom are completely forgotten.
That Saddens me. Deeply saddens me,
