Same old story,year after year,war after war. My dear grandfather went through untold horrors in WW1,and when he came home,with "shell shock",and having been gassed ,what help & understanding did he get from the British Government ?? Fuck all !!
    My dear Dad flew lots of night missions over Germany in 1944-45, facing searchlights,"flak",and the ever-present threat of Luftwaffe night-fighter "aces" like Major Willhelm Herget,who had already shot down my Dad's regular pilot ,Squadron Leader Van Den Bok,on a previous occasion.The stress of "operational flying" affected my Dad for the rest of his life,and crashing in Calcutta ,with several fatalities,in 1946 ,didn't help either. Again,what help & understanding did he get from the British Government afterwards ??   Yes, Fuck all !!
                  So what's new ??
