The pity of it is that these events that I write about are so common place. What interest there would be if we could get some of the braver men to write about their experiences.... But sadly there are not many in their 80s that can deal with computers, and are willing to recall, and write about those times.

When the Veterans are amongst themselves, they do open up and natter about some of the great deeds and battles... BUT Not amongst Non vets. Why? Well the main reason is that so much of what happens is so "Way Out" that it is difficult for those without the experience, to come to terms with what seems to be the days of legends.
If I dare use that term?
So it is seldom that the Vets will talk openly. Only amongst their kin. Believe me,That is a crying ashame, For I know what great things some men did.
