Curious

I was too young to ask my Grandfather about the war, and my Father and his brothers did not want to talk about their war service, to me, unless it was something humourous. Once I became a war veteran, their attitudes change. Now I was one of them. When talking to people about their war experiences it is good to remember that the stories told are more than likely true. There are things done by soldiers, sailors and airmen that are totallly unbelievable and are hard to understand how people could carry out those deeds as described in the citations of men that have been awarded a Victoria Cross or a US Congressional Medal of Honour. The more you delve into the subject the more you will understand what your Grandfater went through. There is always the chance that he never spoke to your parents about the war and therefore they cannot pass those stories on. So you statr by getting there service records. Find out what units they served with. Where they served. Find out what Medals they were issued with. Then find the appropriate books about the war and the various units your relatives served with.. It can be fun and is very informative. Good luck on your search.

it is hard to understand if i dont no nothing..
