Yes very touching story.

Mr Great Grandfather spent the 1st world war as ground
crew for the origins of the RAF.
Never got to speak to him about it he died when I was young.
(died at 90 mind you!)

Mr Grandfather was an infantryman in WW2, talking about the war was
banned
so I don't know much about what he did. My grandmother has lots of
desert
gear still so probably in North Africa.
Mind you the only tale I did hear was that my grandfather broke his leg
on
practice
parachute jumps and subsequently missed operation Market Garden!
That's fate for ya.
