RE: D-Day 75th Anniversary
Yep it was a massive sacrifice for those young men and both your uncle and my uncle died in that war.
My uncle Tommy was in the Navy with my Dad. My Dad would never talk about the war except to tell us funny stories about life aboard ship and how they got sunk once. He thought it was hilarious but I suspect it was just his way of coping with it?
Yes I think you may well be right that the joking is a way to deal with it, My Dad was in J Force and would never talk about it at all, I think I can understand why now even though I do not know what he saw, I just know that there are things that I have seen on Missions that I can only ever talk about with colleagues that have seen the same, its not something one can talk about with anyone else
Jeez he must have seen some horrors in Japan.
I know what you mean about talking about these things.
My brother in law was in the Welsh Guards in the Falklands war.
He saw all of his mates on fire!
He came back really messed up with ptsd and has never fully recovered.
Yes I am sure he did, That must have been such a devestating experience for your brother and no wonder that he can never forget it so sorry to hear it is still troubling him :(
He is involved with the veterans group and has been back to the Falklands many times. Very difficult for those guys that survived.
Ohh yes I do feel for them so much
