[QUOTE="andybob, post: 846108, member: 2703"] We need to record these last veterans' stories, I know how hard it is to get them to talk, my dad never once brought up his war service, I only knew he was wounded because he met my mom when she nursed him, when he died we found his medals and discovered he was an officer in the Royal Navy, we had always thought he was a Petty Officer! Quite a few books on "my war" (Rhodesia 1970's) are being published, and we are all being encouraged to write some form of historical account while we still remember everything with a reasonable amount of accuracy. I haven't felt ready to share anything yet but realise I owe it to future historians to make an effort to record some of the more important operations. Pleased you were able to bring a spark of interest back for your uncle, Hoss. [/QUOTE]
