Hi Mike
It was our parents generation that fought WW2 and I have clear memories of being surrounded by them and immersed in their culture as a child. They knew first hand the realities of war and sacrifice and understood what they had fought for. My mother in law had a school friend that was killed on the Prince of Wales and another who died at Dunkirk.
It was not an idyllic time but there was a basic decency, respect for others and lack of crime that is entirely missing from todays society and I really do miss that feeling of trust in your fellow citizens.
Some gave their all.
'We will remember them.'

David
