Where would I liked to have served ?

When I was being shelled at Cassino ? ...... I would liked to have served anywhere near my home in London.
When I was being dive-bombed at Termoli ? ..... I would have liked to have served anywhere near the beach in Brighton
When I was snowbound in Carovilli ? ........I would have liked to have served in somehere like Cape Town

All in all, most of the time I would liked to have served somewhere else but I suppose that merely makes me normal
