Bert and McGrath, how old are you, may I ask? I would like to hear more memories of that wartime. I don't remember much of it at all even though I'm a good deal older than you- but I was in the U.S.I was 9 when the war ended. I was a farm kid and about the only thing I remember of the war was the many soldiers on the buses and trains and I remember the cc boys and I remember that German POWs worked in the bean fields with a n armed guard patrolling. And I remember the day President Roosevelt died.
Not to hijack this thread, a new thread on this subject would be welcomed by me and I would imagine, others.
