You're welcome. I can only wince when I think back to the D-Day vets I knew growing up and what they would say about our World's current state. Most of the WWII vets I knew were battle hardened realists about life and accepted evil for what it was......right before they killed it. They didn't light candles & hold prayer vigils singing infantile songs.
Indeed, my dad survived being torpedoed twice in the Atlantic, and two uncles were at the Yangtse with the Navy and Arnheim with the Paras respectively. I wear my Help for Heroes gear with great pride, they were men of their generation ( and I mean Men ! ) and I'm happy to wholeheartedly salute them.
There's a Facebook group that collects plenty of those together - there are some great photos on there. There's a similar site for WWI colourised photos.
Trust me, the girls and drugs more than made up for the horrors of war. When you're 20, there's always light at the end of the tunnel... even if it's an on-coming train.
