Hi Simon ...
Yes the war to us is far in the past yet I remember a time when it was just maybe 10 years in my parent's past. It was never talked about at all. Just the odd comment about rationing and such.
However from the war came a chance meeting in a Netherland farm and three years later a marriage and then came I.
From the war came life for many who would not have been given a chance. Divine provenance ? Who's to know. Horrible yes but for many including myself it meant life. Strange ...
