I wish I could have talked with my Uncle Jack. Just for an hour.<br />ELIZABETH Good on your grandparents for their decency and humanity. It seems that such commodities are usually in short supply where the enemies of warfare are concerned.

The pilot was German.My grandparents took the attitude that whether he was 'enemy' or not, he was someone's child, lover or parent and they paid for him to be buried. There was nothing to identify him and they were never able to find out anything about him. Somewhere in Germany, the map of a family has been changed because of that man's death.<br /> So many random, pointless deaths; so much heartache. xElizabethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-36276013489726507162010-11-13T23:01:58.128+00:002010-11-13T23:01:58.128+00:00Well said.

He was in the paras and was badly wounded a few days after being dropped in Caen in June 1944.<br /><br />He survived and I was fortunate to have known him and to hear what his experience had taught him. That war is a conceit of kings and politicians and the only victims are ordinary people.<br /><br />As someone said, a bayonet is a weapon with a worker at each end.Shooting Parrotshttp://shootingparrots.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-41342335910459311142010-11-13T21:48:45.766+00:002010-11-13T21:48:45.766+00:00nicely writtennicely writtenJohn Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.com
