[Margaret Pilkington]

Jambutty that says it all........you and your relatives all have the experience -first hand,of the homecoming, to a land that these boys were told would be fit for heroes.....and found that the politicians promises were blown away like dust.
My dad was rescued from the Dunkirk beaches....two of his best friends never made it home.......he suffered ill health for many years as a direct result of his war time service.....and he and my mother were too proud to ask for, or expect any help.....until they were in dire straits. Then when they asked for help none was forthcoming. And Blazey thinks she knows all about the war because she was taught it at school! And she also thinks that being under an occupied force 'would be no bad thing'...it makes me want to weep.
