Hi David. Thanks for your kind comments. I am proud of him and you have made me feel that more. I love those two photos. He has a competent bearing and looks to be a man to rely on. Yes it was a particularly terrible war and my mother said that he was affected. When he returned he didn't talk much and was almost deaf from gunfire.
Thanks again,
Cheers, Richard
