Sometimes amidst the misery of war there are some wonderful stories that warm the cockles of the heart.....
The aforementioned Major Olver of the Royal Engineers met his Maltese sweetheart in Egypt during WW2. She was a nurse. Their chance encounter led to 60+ years of happy marriage in the UK, Trinidad, and finally Sydney. Had they not met (which only happened because of the war), my wife would not have been conceived......and had she not been born, then neither would my three children have been born.....
History presents some interesting conundrems....
