RE: Hidden History: The Sinking Of The Lancastria, A True Story Told Through The Eyes Of My Grandad
Thank you for bringing this story into the daylight again where it belongs. Your blog is a wonderful tribute to Arthur and his generation. My own father was at el alamein and was wounded on the mareth line. He and my mother did not see each other for 4 years after they married. She will be 97 next month and is still completely independent. There will never be another generation like them.
Hey @ricia thank you as always for the great support and kind words. And yes they were a generation like no other, the last of a dying breed. It makes me think that many of them would saddened at the world we've since allowed to be created. An ever more divided society of 24hr surveillance and monitoring, but you know like the old saying goes "those that don't know history are doomed to repeat it". Thanks again my friend.
