My grandad was a wounded survivor from WWI.

To me this just says it all;..................

"He spent four years in hospital and was in pain for the rest of his life. He also had to endure people staring at his broken face.
One day, a child asked him what had happened to his nose. He had lost it in France, he said, and there wasn’t any point in going back and trying to look for it. His sense of humour was astonishingly intact.
He died in poverty in 1988 — ‘One more life given to the war, now finally at peace’ as Mayhew puts it in her moving book."

RIP To all who fell, and those that did return Heros every one of them. We owe them so much.
