So "Feed", I'm afraid there's no easy ride for you......

You have to read a lot of vet's stories including the irrepressible Sapper's heart-rending tales of life at the sharp end and then you can ask for clarification of details.

Come back here any time

Greetings!
I understand completely how irksome it must be for you to answer the same questions over and over again!

The interest I have in WWII has just recently been sparked because we started studying about WWII only about two weeks ago in History Class. Before that, all I had was a misty perception of this big disastrous event during the course of history.
Our teacher has encouraged us to explore the War on our own, and read, listen, and watch as much information about it as we can.
I have always wanted to interview a Veteran, and that's why I was thinking I should ask a couple of questions from a WWII Veteran and share it with my whole class.

I assure you that I will most certainly go through Sapper's Story and your own album in some time. You see, those are long posts, and I don't want to just scan through them or look over them. I want to experience them both in detail. At the moment, I am trying to find a WWII Veteran because we are studying WWII in class, and I think it'd be appropriate to share a Veteran's experience. I am sorry because you must get my kind of requests numerous times a day, but will you please answer a few of my questions if I post them here?
I could make a new topic about it, and hence we would not have to move away from the discussions, as you do not like doing that as mentioned earlier in your post.

Other than that, thank you for the warm welcome and for taking out time to view (and reply to) my post!
