Lovely, Lizzie. Thanks for that. I can understand your zeal for the England your forebears defended.

TSO's Dad, lost a wife to German bombing in England, lost 2 of his 3 brothers and lost his leg in the same war and was held in Japanese POW camp.

He doesn't know it but his son in law has written a very compelling song about the experiences, even though the facts have only been collected surreptitiously as the gentleman does not speak of those horrific experiences.

He is 90+, sharp as a tack and still sings like a lark.
