I am just about o...Thank you so much for the blog.<br /><br />I am just about of your generation, but my children have the unusual distinction that their maternal and paternal grandfathers were in opposing trenches in WWI.<br /><br />Both survived that war, neither would talk about it. (Although I do have some notes written in my grandfather's Army-issue New Testament and the wee Bible given to him by my Grannie. They included the note "taken prisoner by The Hun".)<br /><br />My Scots grandfather lived on, though a family heart condition took him too young.<br /><br />My German grandfather-in-law, a railway worker, happened to be a German working man in the wrong place in 1945 and was taken away - he never re-appeared. His wife had to take a daughter, toddler and baby granddaughters 400 miles on foot back home through the Russian army.<br /><br />War forces ordinary people to live in circumstances of utter extremity, and some coped in any way known to human beings - other don't find any way to cope. And it goes on, every day somewhere on the globe.<br /><br />I take school groups to places where they may catch just a little notion of what that is about.<br /><br />Keep the faith in the telling of the stories!vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10820965364210447852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31636059.post-50138539291304898172010-10-29T06:44:10.139+01:002010-10-29T06:44:10.139+01:00World War 1 hasn't ended until now?
