Dear Comrade Buzyg,
You are absolutely quite perfectly correct in your assertion of how resilient the English race was in those days now past. I was certainly intrigued concerning the post by flybobbie in which he informed us of his dear Grandfather's diary upon one page of which he advised of an that paraffin should be utilised to wash mustard gas from one's eyes. I think we should stop and think about this for a moment......
Further to the aforementioned, my mother's first husband was killed in the Battle Al Alamein in the northern desert of Africa; he remains there to this very day thus that there will always be a Piece of England there.
For my mother's part, she was left with two children, both boys. She brought them up throughout the war and yet the war widow's pension was wholly derisory to the extent that it would hardly feed one child let alone provide food and accommodation for the three of them.
I shall say no more, except to say, within this country we now reward indolence to the extent that,... well, feel free to add whatever you may wish.
With kind regards,
