My dad was in the army throughout the second world war.
He never, not once, spoke about it.

I asked mum why that was and she told me that as he had three sons he couldn't bear the the thought of us ever thinking that any of it was exciting, an adventure or glorious in any way whatsoever. He knew that there was no way he could tell us about any of it without that inevitably happening at some point; boys, with our action men toys etc.

Well done dad x
