Those old guys it seems rarely talk about what happened to them during the war, it is unfortunate really because it would do us good to know the old feller in the street that is invisable to most, may just be one of the reasons why we are British.
I guess the horrors of war are not glamorous like the films, they are bloody terrifying and those old guys could do little other than block them out and get on with life, who knows what went on inside though.
