| I had read your site before I posted May. I was just thinking the letters were part of the "stiff upper lip" you Brits are notorious for and as such masked the real feelings.
I understand completely what you mean about being honored by living through the war. Sure you see the worst of mankind in that there is a brutal war, but you also see the best as well. Without trying times, you never see this side of people. And although it’s not worth the suffering associated with it, but if it is trust upon you, you at least get to see that side of people that you would never have seen otherwise. Your account seems to corroborate Sir Winston’s claim that this was Britain’s “Finest Hour”. |
