Pictures are brilliant Mark. We really can't imagine what it must have been like.
My Nanna's brother was a POW in Thailand, they had to feed him up before allowing him to go home, where he died not long after with berry-berry....
My Dad's Dad was a Desert Rat and took quiet a few photo's himself of the different places he went too (think I posted some off them a while back). He didn't talk about the war either only that he got his Medals for running away he used to say ;D
The only thing I ever heard him say was that seeing tracers flying towards you was terrifing....
Denise's Grandad landed at Dunkirk where a tank ran over a land mine, blowing several of his mates up and himself. He was touch and go if his leg should get amputated, but the doctor gave him penicillin and operated as he was still only 19 years old. Shrapnel for years made its way out...
