Real time war!

WE have a lot of talk around the fringes of war, but seldom real stories from those that fought them.

Can post some of my Fathers memories, as he remembered it. Thankfully I managed to write down what he told me in his latter years.

Richard, you most certainly can, and thank you for letting us share in the great tribute to your Father.

As our numbers grow fewer with the passing days, such memories must be set down before they are lost forever.

With best wishes to you and yours,

Gerry
