RE: Hidden History: The Sinking Of The Lancastria, A True Story Told Through The Eyes Of My Grandad
That was beautifully written about a very sad time, my father was in the royal navy and a bosons mate in ww2 at 16, he was a lot older than my mother when they met after the war, and he died in 1972 when I was 6, he never once spoke about the war (my mother said), I can only imagine what he saw as a young boy, in a mans world of bullets, missiles and bombs, I tip my hat to you sir, for yet another high quality post.
Hey @deliberator Thanks for the support and great comment my friend! And yes that is so true for this story only came to light after Marie knocked on the door all those years later. Indeed for the people that understand the reality and have lived through the attrocities of war these are not stories that are told lightly. Indeed I imagine there is so much emotion pent up in said stories that to speak those words could open floodgates that some may find difficult to close again. Respect to your Dad and yes 16!! it's difficult to comprehend the responsibilty that this would have heaped upon such young shoulders. Thanks again.
Most welcome, I always look forward to your posts, and a small number of other peoples, some within your circle, for some of us it is not about getting a little tip, in the upvote of our comments, it is purely looking for the best presented work, so we may aspire to not be the same, more present our work in a similar fashion, so in a way, you help me, by writing so eloquently, and with good graphic design. Thank you sir.
Thank my friend .. and I haven't forgotten about the next part of your post. It's at the top of my to read list :)
