On weald of Kent I watched once more
Again I heard that grumbling roar

Borne on the wind a whisper came
'Though men grow old, they stay the same'
And then I knew, unseen to eye
The ageless Few were sweeping by

A GRANDMOTHER baffled by her splitting headaches found she had had a bullet lodged in her brain for 64 YEARS.

Maybe the bullet was a dum dum!

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts? Check out this site:

Kyt is a bit shady
It doesn't seem that she didn't know that she had been shot as a child BUT that she wasn't aware that the bullet had remained lodged in her head. Obviously, the bullet must have been pretty spent after passing through the arm of another person.
