Quite self explanatory, really!

I have an Australian Second World War veteran in my charge at work.
He trained our commandos. One tough character. Although he now has trouble walking unaided, it would take a very brave/foolish person to approach him from behind and clamp a hand on his shoulder. His wife warned me about that when I first met them both, some 9 years ago. My own Father was the same. Gentle as a lamb, UNLESS you grabbed him from behind.

They really were the toughest generation, weren't they!

to them all. God bless em. Wish they could live forever.
